Hal Steinbrenner, the owner of the Yankees, intends to keep Aaron Boone as his manager. Last October, Boone signed a three-year contract with a team option for 2025.
“As far as Boone’s concerned, we just signed him and for all the same reasons I listed a year ago, I believe he is a very good manager,” said Steinbrenner. “I don’t see a change there.”
In July, his fifth season as manager, New York accelerated to a 61-23 record, drawing comparisons to the 1998 World Series champion Yankees. But the Yankees struggled the rest of the way due to injuries, going 38-40, and then got swept by the Astros in the ALCS.
Do you think it’s time for the Yanks to move on from Boone?
