The manager of the New York Yankees may lose another incredible star after turning down a contract offer.
After the 2024 MLB season ends, Aaron Boone, who has been the New York Yankees’ signal caller for the past six years, could not be around anymore.
During his time as manager, Boone has guided the Yankees to five winning seasons. During that time, the Bronx Bombers have made two trips to the ALCS and ALDS, respectively. Along with coaching Yankees star Aaron Judge to an American League MVP title and a record 62 home runs in 2022, Boone also guided great pitcher Gerrit Cole to the 2023 AL Cy Young Award. Both as a club and as an individual, New York has had tremendous success; yet, there have been a few setbacks that left much to be desired from the former Yankees player turned head man, which may quickly force him out of the Big Apple.
According to reports, the Yankees need to make a long postseason run to keep manager Aaron Boone in place.
Even though it won’t be with a World Series trophy next to him, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that Boone might need to lead the Yankees further than he has ever led them as manager in the 2024 MLB playoffs in order to sleep soundly at night once winter arrives (h/t Kevin Hickey of The Sporting News):
Heyman stated via Bleacher Report, “I would say, they have to win at least one round and have to get into the playoffs, first and foremost.” “I believe the owner, Hal Steinbrenner, adores him. It will be difficult if they lose in the first round, so I would say that’s a really heated seat. However, I believe general manager Brian Cashman adores him and they fervently want to have him around.
