New York Yankees Make Decision on Aaron Boone's Future With Team
It doesn't sound like he's going anywhere.
According to Andy Martino of SNY, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone's job is safe.
"As previously reported, manager Aaron Boone’s job is safe. (Brian) Cashman still considers Boone an excellent manager and is said not to blame him for the team’s recent struggles. It is extremely difficult to imagine the front office wanting to move on from Boone after the season, even if the Yankees fail to reach the postseason; the one unknown there is what owner Hal Steinbrenner would do in that scenario."
As Martino reported, Cashman does not blame Boone for the team's recent struggles. Not to mention, the Yankees have been without superstar outfielder Aaron Judge since June 3.
Per Martino, even if the Yankees miss the postseason it is difficult to envision the front office moving on from Boone.
The Yankees have gone 2-8 in their last 10 games and are in sole possession of last place in the American League East.
As bad as the Yankees' recent stretch has been, they're still just four games out of the final Wild Card spot in the AL.
The Yankees could be getting Judge back soon as he is getting "close" in his rehab from a toe injury. They also have the trade deadline coming up, where they intend on being buyers.
However, if the Yankees continue to take a dive over the next week or so, Martino says they could change course and become sellers.
If the Yankees become sellers, they will likely miss out on the playoffs for the first time under Boone and first time since 2016.
But even if they miss the postseason, it sounds like Boone's job as manager will be safe.
