Aaron Boone bumps fists with Jasson Dom\u00ednguez after a game against the Royals.<\/p>\n
There are a few different ways to look at the\u00a0New York Yankees\u2018 play during the 2025 campaign. The Yankees, at 63-56, obviously haven\u2019t been the worst team in baseball, but they\u2019re six games out in the American League East and just 3-7 over their last 10 games. A few months ago, it looked like the Yankees would run away with the division, at the very least.<\/p>\n
Now, this has to fall on someone, and many believe that\u00a0Aaron Boone\u00a0will eventually be the one who gets the short end of the stick.<\/p>\n
Who Should the Yankees Replace Aaron Boone With?<\/p>\n
When searching for replacements for the New York Yankees\u2019 skipper, Michael O\u2019Brien of SI Live had some intriguing options for the Yankees to consider. The Astros\u2019 sign-stealing cheating allegations stopped Carlos Beltran from becoming the New York Mets\u2019 manager in 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Yankees clearly valued Aaron Boone\u2019s ties to the franchise when they hired him, so could that same connection make Carlos Beltr\u00e1n an appealing option if they decide to make a switch? Beltr\u00e1n, who fell just short of Hall of Fame induction this year but remains a strong future candidate, spent three seasons in the Bronx as a player from 2014 to 2016. During that stretch, he posted a solid .270 batting average with 180 RBI and 335 hits across 341 games in Pinstripes,\u201d\u00a0he wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was set to gain managerial experience after being hired by the crosstown rival Mets in November 2019; while that might have been forgivable in the eyes of Yankees fans, he ultimately never managed a game in Queens after his role in the Astros\u2019 sign-stealing scandal came to light\u2014an act that many would consider far less excusable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Could New York Replace Aaron Boone With a Veteran Manager?<\/p>\n
The New York Yankees have demonstrated that they prefer to keep things simple and prioritize hiring former players.<\/p>\n
They did so with Boone and others, but it remains uncertain if they want to do that again.<\/p>\n
It isn\u2019t exactly working out for the Yankees with Boone, despite the issues likely not being his fault.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Brien had another intriguing name in the form of Joe Maddon.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Throughout Maddon\u2019s career, he was one of the better managers in Major League Baseball, winning a World Series, two pennants, and three Manager of the Year Awards. He owns a 1,382-1,216 record over 19 years with the\u00a0Tampa Bay Rays,\u00a0Chicago Cubs, and\u00a0Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Yankees are seeking a completely fresh start with someone unconnected to the organization but seasoned in managing big-market teams, Joe Maddon could emerge as a dark horse candidate to take the reins in the Bronx\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cAs mentioned earlier, if Yankees brass still believes breaking their World Series drought is possible this season, why not give the man who ended the Cubs\u2019 108-year wait for a championship a chance?\u201d<\/p>\n
Could Aaron Boone Stay Despite a Concerning Season?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Despite many wanting Boone fired by the New York Yankees, it\u2019s also essential to understand what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
Boone has dealt with injuries to his best pitcher, Gerrit Cole, and players like Devin Williams have struggled. Of course, some could suggest that Boone hasn\u2019t put his players in the best spot, like Williams, but ultimately, he needs his players to perform.<\/p>\n
Jim Bowden of The Athletic also believes that\u2019s the case, even going as far as saying that the Yankees\u2019 struggles aren\u2019t on Boone.\u00a0\u201cThis is not on Aaron Boone,\u201d\u00a0Bowden said. \u201cHe\u2019s the defending American League Champion manager. He managed into the World Series last year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
