Yankees in Talks to Extend Manager Aaron Boone's Contract

General Manager Brian Cashman and owner Hal Steinbrenner aim to finalize a deal before the 2025 MLB season begins.

Aaron Boone has managed the Yankees since 2018, leading the team to six playoff appearances in seven seasons and a .584 winning percentage.
The Yankees picked up Boone's 2025 option last November but are now negotiating a longer-term extension to avoid a 'lame duck' season.
General Manager Brian Cashman praised Boone's leadership and handling of player dynamics, citing his value to the organization despite not yet winning a World Series title.
Owner Hal Steinbrenner has consulted with players and former Yankees, including Aaron Judge and Andy Pettitte, who have expressed support for Boone's continued leadership.
A new deal could be announced before Opening Day, with both Boone and the Yankees expressing optimism about reaching an agreement soon.
