Yankees make big decision on manager Aaron Boone's future

LeSean McCoy reacts to the New York Yankees' collapse in Game 5 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is not going anywhere.

The team announced on Friday that they exercised their 2025 club option, bringing back Boone for an eighth season in pinstripes. 

Boone, 51, will return for his eighth season after leading the Yankees to the World Series this past season for the first time since 2009.

The Yankees were 94-68 in 2024, and are 603-429 in seven seasons under Boone. 

Entering the 2024 season, the Yankees decided not to pick up Boone’s option in case the team wanted to move on after the season. 

One of the biggest reasons for the Yankees picking up Boone’s option was the support he has from team captain Aaron Judge.

"He’s always had our back. He’s always been there for us, always put us in the best positions day in and day out. He’s a guy that every single person in this room will run through a wall for. The culture we have here – it’s something special, and it starts with him at the top," Judge said at the end of the season via The Athletic.

"Being in this position, we wouldn’t have the players we brought in fit so well if it wasn’t for a manager like him to really bring all of us together."
