Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner is making it clear where he stands on the job status of manager Aaron Boone.
According to the owner, Boone is expected to return to the club next season. The manager signed a three-year contract, which includes a team option in 2025, last year.
“As far as Boone’s concerned, we just signed him and for all the same reasons I listed a year ago, I believe he is a very good manager,” Steinbrenner said, via The Associated Press. “I don’t see a change there.”
Boone finished his fifth season with the Yankees with a 99–63 record.
