What an anticlimactic end to 2023. Baseball season will be over in a week and the New York Yankees will end yet another season without a World Series. In fact, for the first time in seven years, they will not be headed to the postseason either. Who will accept the blame? The players or the management? It doesn’t seem like majority owner Hal Steinbrenner wants it to be his beloved front office.

Fans have hated watching the dumpster fire of a season that has been this year. While an insane number of injuries are a valid reason, the way things are going, 2024 may not be any better. Brian Cashman’s refusal to trust anyone but the current roster and Aaron Boone’s apparent inability to manage them has been questioned too many times. But the team officials are still not ready to listen.

Aaron Boone Is Not Worried About Future in the Bronx

Hal Steinbrenner made it clear early on that should a decline in performance continue, there would be conversations in the winter. But even then he displayed a stubbornness to not let things change. The domino effect of the higher-ups believing in the rest of the organization has shown the Yankees exactly where that undeserved trust will land them. But for now, Boone is safe.

The Yankees skipper talked to reporters about the disaster of 2023 yesterday, mentioning how things have not gone as planned. But when one asked him if Monday could possibly be the last home game he managed in the Bronx, Boone had a surprising answer.

“No – not until you mentioned that, no. I didn’t think about that at all,” the manager said. Instead, he was more focused on the “crappy weather” that had delayed the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The message is clear. While the Yankees and Boone may not have had clear conversations about the future, the skipper may see out his contract through 2024.

Aaron Boone took over management of the roster in 2018, and since then, the Pinstripes have at least made it to the divisional series. But 2023 has been a clown show of epic proportions and the horrible results are out. In a rare show of support, many are asking for the GM’s removal over Boone.

After all, he can only manage the players he’s been given and Brian Cashman refuses to sell/ trade new and better players. Keeping aging veterans who have long passed their primes has cost them dearly this season. At 79-77, they will likely not finish at the bottom of the AL East.
