NEW YORK (WFAN) — Although the Yankees traded for a player this week who could block Miguel Andujar from the starting job at third base, new manager Aaron Boone says the organization still very much believes in the young infielder.
Talking to WFAN’s “The Afternoon Drive With Carlin, Maggie and Bart” on Thursday, Boone said one of the first things he told Andujar after the Yankees acquired Brandon Drury from Arizona on Tuesday was, “This doesn’t change anything as far as what we think of you, our belief in you.
“For me, just watching a lot of video coming in on him and obviously the reports, which are glowing across the board within our organization — frankly within the landscape of baseball — and now getting to put my eyes on him for myself and watching him, there’s no doubt in my mind we’ve got a special player and a guy that’s going to play in the big leagues for a long time,” added Boone, who will appear on WFAN every Thursday during the baseball season at 5 p.
