Aaron Boone will not be fired from the New York Yankees despite their humiliating World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, as the 51-year-old will return to the dugout at the start of the 2025 season.
The Yankees made their first World Series since 2009 and to put it politely, it’s one they will want to forget. The only highlight was an 11-4 win in Game 4 to keep their, faint, hopes alive before that was swiftly
Despite holding a 5-0 lead after three innings in a must-win Game 5 clash, the Yankees crumbled in an incredible fashion as Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman very quickly forced the Dodgers back into the contest, which they went on to win 7-6.
So now the futures of some of the members of the New York side are up for debate such as Juan Soto, who heads to free agency, as well as Anthony Rizzo but one man staying in the Bronx will be Boone.
“Boone is expected back as manager in 2025,” Andy Martino reports. “Despite how the World Series went, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the team’s thinking.
“That would have been the case even if the Yankees had been swept. The Yankees hold an option on Boone for next season.
“To avoid a lame duck year, it would be logical to follow the pennant-winning season with a contract extension.
The 2024 World Series, however, marked their first appearance in the final games of the season since back in 2009 suggesting that the desired final step to glory might not actually be far away for the team under Boone‘s leadership.
