NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Aaron Boone, who once helped the New York Yankees make it to the World Series as a player, will be introduced Wednesday as the team’s new manager.
New York, which picked Boone over five other candidates last week, has scheduled a news conference at Yankee Stadium. His deal contains a team option for 2021.
“I firmly believe that Aaron possesses the attributes needed to follow in the tradition of great Yankees managers,” owner Hal Steinbrenner said in a statement. “From all accounts, he is a polished communicator who possesses the ability to cultivate and grow relationships.
