Yankees Seek Long-Term Extension for Aaron Boone

The New York Yankees are in active discussions to extend manager Aaron Boone's contract beyond the 2025 season. Boone, who led the Yankees to the 2024 World Series and holds a 603-429 record, is keen to remain with the team, expressing optimism about reaching a deal before Opening Day. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and owner Hal Steinbrenner are hopeful that an agreement will be finalized this spring. Boone, despite facing some criticism from fans, is well-regarded by the Yankees' management and players, including team captain Aaron Judge. The Yankees exercised Boone's 2025 option last November but now aim for a long-term extension to ensure stability and continued success for the franchise. The team is also focused on roster improvements following the departure of star player Juan Soto to the Mets.
