Aaron Boone, a former MLB infielder, joined the prestigious baseball organization, the New York Yankees, back in 2018. Under his reign, the team went on to qualify for playoffs in each season. However, the missing World Series ring makes his resume incomplete. It has invited a lot of unwanted criticism for the skipper over the years.
Meanwhile, this season, Aaron Boone’s job as the manager of the Yankees has seemingly come under threat. The team sits last in the East division, on the brink of a playoff elimination for the first time under Boone’s tenure. As a result, the skipper could be made to take the fall. Amid these uncertainties and speculations, the Yankee players have come forward to offer some support to their beloved skipper.
With Managerial Job Under Threat, Aaron Boone Garners Support From Yankee Players
Aaron Boone’s imminent sacking rumors have gained momentum since the New York Yankees went into turmoil this year. While the fans and top brass demand accountability, the players in the clubhouse seem happy with the skipper’s efforts. Aaron Judge, the captain, said that Boone has been a friend and a companion since 2018. Over the years, they have built a good relationship, and he respects the work the skipper has put in this year as well. Further, DJ LeMahieu empathized with Boone as he thinks the latter’s job is the toughest in the world. The way he handles the team is commendable, and the players respect him a lot. The team is willing to play and win for him.
According to LeMahieu, Boone cares more about his players than his job. Isiah Kiner-Falefa said that Aaron Boone backs his players all the time. He is willing to do anything he can for his players, and that is everything a professional baseball player could ask for. Apart from IKF, reliever Tommy Kahnle appreciated Boone’s open nature. He said that he has been a part of many organizations where guys don’t do anything. Hence, Kahnle feels good as his struggles were addressed and efforts were being taken to resolve them. Having said that, while the skipper has all the support he needs from his players, the decision-making committee might have lost faith. Recent reports suggest that Boone could be made to take the fall after all.
MLB Reporter Claims Yankees To Fire Someone At The End Of The Year
Amid Aaron Boone’s job insecurity, an MLB reporter has added fuel to the fire. Bob Klapisch of NJ Media claimed that sources within the organization suggest someone could be sacrificed for the Yankees debacle by the end of the year. “It won’t be (Brian) Cashman,” added Klapisch. This leaves us with manager Aaron Boone.
His job has been the talk of the town recently. Brian Cashman, the Yankees GM, confirmed that everyone, including him, will be evaluated at the end of the season. The ownership will make a decision based on the evaluation. Hence, presently, nobody’s job is secure. Every possible scenario is on the table for now.
