Former world series champions New York Yankees have not had the best of the season so far. They are fourth in the AL East, eight games behind the table toppers Tampa Bay Rays. And their problems seem to have only increased because of the injuries to crucial players like Aaron Judge. And manager Aaron Boone could not address this situation well and is at the center of criticism.
It has been a month since the Yankees have failed to strike the ball. The MLB world, especially the Yankees fans, expect changes and additions to the squad to improve their strength. But the latest comments from Boone have failed to be in sync with it. Finding it an usual response fans have reflected upon in their reactions to social media.
Aaron Boone hints no change in their stand with Oswald Peraza
Oswald Peraza is one of the top Yankees prospects who has not played enough in the MLB this season. After a few games, at the start of the season, they sent him for a Triple-A assignment. But when the team is not doing enough, everyone expects him to make an MLB return.
But this seems to be very unlikely if Boone’s latest comments are taken into consideration. Talkin Yanks shared a video clip of the conversation with the caption, “We asked Boone if Peraza is getting called up, and he dodged that but did say Judge is coming back,”

During the interview, they asked Boone about any chances of Peraza making it into the MLB squad. To this, he had an indirect answer and said, “Well, I think anything’s always on the table, but we also do believe in the group that we have, that it can still be a really dynamic offense. And that is the expectation.”
Providing a glimpse over the future, he added,” We know we’re going to get guys back, we’re going to get Judge back. As rough as, in some ways, the first half has been for us and as much of a grind as it’s been for us. It’s right there in front of us.” Even though Boone shared news about Judge, fans still did not like his answer.
Fans left disappointed by Boone’s response!
The Yankees fans have shown their unhappiness with Aaron Boone regarding the management of the team, especially the injuries. Reacting to his latest comments, they have called it a lie. Few also mentioned that he needs to go. Here are a few of the reactions!
I love how he lies and has been saying the same lines over and and over again.

It seems fans and the manager are not on the same page. With every defeat and offensive failure, the disagreement is increasing. It would be interesting to know what steps Boone takes to address this. Will he be successful in it? Only time will tell!
