Though the wait continues within the Yankees’ organization for owner Hal Steinbrenner to dictate the direction of the team in a fluid situation, he seems inclined to keep Aaron Boone as manager, industry sources told ESPN’s Buster Olney.
“He likes [Boone], and I don’t think he blames him for what happened,” one source said.
During a season generally viewed as a disappointment, Steinbrenner cited underachieving player performance as the primary reason for the team’s struggles. There also has been heavy social media criticism of Boone from some Yankees fans.
Cool cool cool.
