The New York Yankees will not change managers in 2025.

The Yankees pick up manager Aaron Boone’s team option for 2025

Jon Heyman of the New York Post announced early Wednesday afternoon that the Yankees will pick up Aaron Boone’s 2025 team option, with the possibility of his term being extended beyond the reported one-year period.

Boone’s stay with the Yankees is justified by his track record

Boone has led the Yankees to the playoffs in six of his seven years at the helm. On three of those occasions, they advanced to the American League Championship Series or beyond. The former Yankees All-Star still has the Bronx Bombers alive in the 2024 World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, positioning himself as a well-oiled machine that can compete for Fall Classic crowns for the foreseeable future.

There have been talks throughout the year that the Yankees’ front office may have been willing to entertain the idea of ​​the 51-year-old’s departure, and a report by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale in September revealed that the franchise Would wait to see how Boone would perform in the 2024 postseason before making a decision on his future.

However, New York’s increased play, catalyzed by the addition of Juan Soto last offseason, coupled with Boone’s lineup decision-making and rotation helped propel the Yankees to the World Series for the first time since 2009.

Although the likelihood of them storming back from an 0-3 hole and winning this year’s championship is slim, the Yankees franchise is in as good a position as it was in the Aaron Judge era and has a great chance of hoisting the Commissioner’s Trophy get sometime under the outstanding manager.
