The New York Yankees are officially riding things out with Booney.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone will be returning for the 2027 MLB season, Pete Caldera of USA Today reported on Monday. It will be the final guaranteed year of Boone’s contract, and the Yankees are giving him the opportunity to coach it out.
Boone, 53, has served as the manager of the Yankees ever since 2018. Over that span, Boone has posted an overall record of 790-565 (.583).
The Yankees have also produced seven 90-win seasons, won four division titles, and made three ALCS appearances during Boone’s time in charge. Most notably, Boone even led New York to the 2024 World Series, marking their first AL pennant since their 2009 championship season.
But over the last couple of seasons, the Yankees have seemingly stagnated under Boone’s leadership. 2026 marked the second straight year that New York was eliminated in the ALDS as cultural issues and simple mistakes with fundamentals have continued to plague them.
Nevertheless, the Yankees are set to give Boone one more ride in 2027. This was the expected outcome all along, albeit with Boone potentially coaching as a lame duck if the team’s fortunes do not improve dramatically.
