Yankees Face Defensive Struggles, Manager Boone Role Scrutinized
The New York Yankees are struggling with both pitching and defensive alignment issues as they face a challenging 2025 season. Injuries to key pitchers like Clarke Schmidt have forced the team to call up top prospect Cam Schlittler in hopes of stabilizing the starting rotation, but bullpen woes persist. Manager Aaron Boone’s decision to move Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to his natural second base position from third, replacing DJ LeMahieu, was a long-overdue move that fans had demanded but raised questions about the front office’s decision-making. Boone faces criticism from fans and analysts for his handling of the team amidst a significant losing streak, with some also questioning General Manager Brian Cashman's role in the team’s decline. Defensive mismanagement, especially the controversial positioning of Chisholm and LeMahieu, has been cited as a key factor in the Yankees’ recent collapse from AL East leaders to a team fighting for playoff positioning. Despite Boone's history of postseason success, the mounting losses and strategic missteps are putting his and the front office’s future with the team under scrutiny.
