general manager Brian Cashman is on record stating that he will interview manager candidates with no experience.
A franchise playoff hero has emerged as one fitting that mold who is in running to succeed Joe Girardi.
Thomson interviewed for Joe Girardi's old job on Wednesday, then discussed his meeting with Yankees beat writers on Thursday.
Third baseman/turned-television analyst Aaron Boone is a candidate to be the Yankees' next manager, Buster Olney of ESPN reported.
Boone, 44, has been part of ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball broadcast team since 2016.
Olney reported that an interview has not yet been scheduled for Boone, who forever will be remembered for sending the 2003 Yankees to the World Series with an 11th-inning, walk-off homer at the old Yankee Stadium off Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series.
