The Yankees fell short of the ultimate goal again when they were eliminated by the Blue Jays in Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

New York fell in a 2-0 hole after the series opened in Toronto and battled back to take Game 3 on Tuesday, only to watch its season end with a 5-2 loss in Game 4 on Wednesday night. After the game, Yankees skipper Aaron Boone was asked if he has any doubts about his future in New York after he finished his eighth year managing the team.<\/p>\n

“No, I’m under contract,” he said. “I don’t expect anything.”<\/p>\n

Aaron Boone is asked if he has any reason to think he won’t be back next year as manager of the Yankees:<\/p>\n

Before the regular season, the Yankees announced they had reached a two-year contract extension with Boone to keep him as their manager through the 2027 season. He remains confident his team will eventually break through and win the franchise’s first World Series since ’09.<\/p>\n

“I believe in so many people in that room,” he said postgame via SNY. “That hasn’t changed, the fire hasn’t changed. It’s hard to win the World Series, been chasing it all my life.”<\/p>\n

The Yankees went 94-68 in the regular season, tying the Blue Jays for the best record in the AL, but they were given the first wild-card spot because Toronto held the tiebreaker. They had a chance to put the Blue Jays behind them, but Toronto’s home-field advantage and high-powered offense was too much to overcome. Boone admitted it wasn’t the easiest year for him personally, but he expects to be back in the Bronx next season and make a run at the World Series full force.<\/p>\n

“This has been a tough year for me personally,” he mentioned Wednesday via Fox. “But all you go through to become this team you think can really do something special and for it to abruptly end is always difficult.”<\/p>\n

Winning at least 90 games in six of his eight seasons as the Yankees’ skipper, Boone is still in search of that elusive World Series.<\/p>\n
