Overview

• Stephen A. Smith argued Aaron Boone’s job is tied to GM Brian Cashman’s status, saying a new GM would likely replace the manager.
• Derek Jeter suggested Boone may not be calling every move during games, a stance Smith questioned by citing Jeter’s long-tense history with Cashman.
• Insider Andy Martino, pointing to broadcaster Suzyn Waldman, said Boone is in lockstep with the Yankees’ analytics by choice rather than acting as a puppet.
• Former Yankee Clint Frazier described a merged lineup process between Boone and the analytics group, and Alex Rodriguez emphasized roster construction over dugout decisions.
• The team has announced no personnel changes, Boone remains under contract after the ALDS loss, and fan and media pressure has intensified after Anthony Volpe’s three-game, nine-strikeout slump.
