Aaron Boone, who has led the New York Yankees to the postseason in each of his four seasons in the Bronx, will return as manager on a new three-year deal with a club option for 2025, as was announced this morning.
With his previous contract set to expire at the end of the World Series, Boone’s job security came under scrutiny after the Yankees’ third-place finish in the AL East and loss to the rival Boston Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Game.
His new contract extends beyond that of general manager Brian Cashman, who is signed through the 2022 season.
Overall, Boone has a 328-218 record in his four seasons as manager, but the Yankees haven’t been to the World Series since 2009 — the third-longest drought in franchise history. The last time a Yankees manager was allowed to manage a fifth season without having won a World Series ring was 1922.
