How the Yankees view Aaron Boone’s future when the contract decision comes

On October 31, 2024By Littum

The Yankees have an option on Aaron Boone in 2025, and that said, they are expected to at least pick it up.

It should come as no surprise as he took the Yankees to their first World Series in 15 years.

No one should be fired over one mistake (and Nestor Cortes over Tim Hill is debatable, especially after Cortes looked great in Game 3). They don’t want that either.

Dave Roberts, meanwhile, did a fantastic job and deserves an extension.

The Dodgers spare no expense, but Roberts appears to be vastly underpaid at a reported estimate of $3 million. Dodgers president of baseball Andrew Friedman, asked if this is Roberts’ best job, said he does a good job every year.
