According to Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner, Aaron Boone is anticipated to return as manager in 2023.
Hal Steinbrenner, the owner of the New York Yankees, stated on Wednesday that he believes Aaron Boone will return in 2023 for his sixth season as manager of the team, despite a lot of rumors to the contrary.
Steinbrenner told Mark Didtler of the Associated Press, “As far as Boone’s concerned, we just signed him and for all the same reasons I listed a year ago, I believe he is a very good manager.” “I don’t see a change there.”
In October 2021, Boone signed a three-year contract that included a 2025 team option.
The American League East is the most competitive division in Major League Baseball this season, and the Yankees are coming off a 99-game season in 2022. But Boone and the Yankees were swept by the Houston Astros in the ALCS following their five-game series victory over the Cleveland Guardians in the ALDS. Fans’ obvious dissatisfaction following that season-ending disaster included criticism of Boone. Steinbrenner may have given a very narrow escape route when he said, “don’t see a change there,” but he also made it very clear that Boone will return to the Yankee dugout.
