The Yankees’ managerial search has finally come to an end. On Friday night, news broke that the club had selected Aaron Boone to be their next manager. He will replace Joe Girardi, who the Yankees parted ways with back in October.
Some Yankees fans hoped that Brian Cashman’s decision to let Girardi go meant that he already had a replacement in mind. However, Cashman later revealed that he had “no preconceived candidate or list of replacements when he informed Girardi of the firing.”
In the end, the Yankees interviewed Rob Thomson, Eric Wedge, Hensley Meulens, Chris Woodward, Carlos Beltran, and Boone.
