BREAKING: WHAT CASHMAN JUST SAID ABOUT AARON BOONE'S JOB


Seriously. The 2023 Yankees are absolutely a situation comedy from the 1980s- Family Ties meets Growing Pains. Maybe it's Silver Spoons with baby Boone getting to keep his job because he is presumably from baseball royalty? Is anyone providing Aaron Boone feedback on his performance appraisal? Does he have to reflect on his goals mid-way through the season? Because guess what? Brian Cashman says it's not Boone's fault that the team he has assembled can't seem to get their act together long enough to do hard things and win consistently. And therefore, his job is safe.

"Cashman still considers Boone an excellent manager and is said not to blame him for the team’s recent struggles. It is extremely difficult to imagine the front office wanting to move on from Boone after the season, even if the Yankees fail to reach the postseason; the one unknown there is what owner Hal Steinbrenner would do in that scenario,"according to Andy Martino of SNY

I don't know any scenario that Hal's dad would let this nonsense go on. In George Steinbrenner days, Boone would have been sent packing in 2021, maybe earlier. The team is not fun to watch. Boone sounds like a baby in pre and post-game conferences not to mention during games and it appears that the organization is complacent with "almost" winning.


"Hot mics at the Yankee game on Wednesday caught a fan yelling for the Yankees to fire Aaron Boone and replace him with franchise legend Don Mattingly, who is currently a part of the Blue Jays coaching staff following a prolonged managerial stint with the Marlins," reported WFAN. Although Gio from the Gio and Boomer Show vehemently disagrees. “Don Mattingly is not going to be the manager of the Yankees. I cannot see that happening,” Gio said. “If I’m him, I don’t want that job."

Let's face it. The Yankees have not changed their formula since Derek Jeter retired. In YANKEES MASQUERADING AS A CONTENDER SINCE JETER RETIRED! we dig deeper into the Yankees smoke and mirror masquerades since 2014. It's fair to say that if the Yankees as an organization continue to play these games with fans, they will need more than Stark Insurance to ensure they have enough money to pay their aging players' salaries.


If I came to work day after day and was unable to move the needle in the right the direction linked to my company aligned goals, I would be gone. What makes Boone special? What goals are he achieving? At some point you have to consider that the players follow the instructions given to them through lineup cards, coaches and trainers. Someone needs to take ownership for loss after loss. If we are in a world of continuous growth and improvement, where resources are used to reach and exceed goals, then why is Aaron Boone still the manager of the Yankees now and perhaps in the foreseeable future? Not really sure what else to say but, are you serious, Hal Steinbrenner?
