Boone knows his future with Yankees is ‘out of my hands’

Despite a contract that runs through 2024, with a club option for 2025, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated Monday that he does not know if he will be invited back for next season. The Yankees are a disappointing 79-77 after Monday’s 6-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, and they were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday. The .506 winning percentage is not only the worst of Boone’s six-year tenure, it is the club’s worst since a .469 mark in 1992. “No, I don’t worry about it,” Boone told reporters Monday when asked about his job security. “It’s out of my hands. I’m completely comfortable […]
