However, despite failing to win the World Series, the Yankees have decided to keep Boone in place for next season.

General manager Brian Cashman announced that the MLB team have exercised the option to extended Boone’s deal through 2025.

Boone agreed a three-year deal back in 2021 which included a team option for 2025.

And Cashman has revealed that the option had to be exercised within 10 days of the World Series.

In a statement, Cashman said: “Aaron is a steadying presence in our clubhouse and possesses a profound ability to connect with and foster relationships with his players.

“Consistently exhibiting these skills in such a demanding and pressurized market is what makes him one of the game’s finest managers.”

Boone, who boasts a 603-429 record and three AL East titles, is just the third Yankees manager to lead the team to the postseason in SIX of his first seven years as manager.

It’s expected that Boone will discuss the decision to stay with the Yankees during a news conference on Monday.

But the manager has already released a statement that read: “I am grateful for the trust placed in me to lead this team.

“It’s a responsibility — and an opportunity — that I will never take lightly.

“There’s a collective commitment to excellence within this organization that is embedded in all that we do.

“I’m already looking forward to reporting for spring training in Tampa and working tirelessly to return the Yankees to the postseason to compete for a world championship.”
