SAN ANTONIO -- Yankees general manager Brian Cashman sounded as if he intends to bring back manager Aaron Boone for an eighth season and defended his team from criticism by Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly over New York's sloppy World Series defensive play.
"I'm a big Aaron Boone fan. I think he's a great manager and I think we're lucky to have him," Cashman said Tuesday at the general managers meetings.
Boone has led the Yankees to a 603-429 record, three American League East titles and one pennant in seven seasons.
