THE PUPPET MASTER WILL DO ANYTHING TO KEEP HIS PUPPET

New reports surface that Brian Cashman wants to keep Aaron Boone for 2024. If this is true than it's a direct contradiction of what Bob Klapisch was able to find out through sources just last week.  Remember last week, we wrote BREAKING REPORT: BIG FIRING COMING IN THE BRONX!

In that report, the following was revealed:

"Well, the latest reveal comes from legend Bob Klapisch with the help of Inside the Pinstripes: Check this out:

Sources within the organization have indicated someone has to be sacrificed for the debacle," wrote Klapisch. "And it won’t be (general manager Brian) Cashman."

If not Cashman, it seems that manager Aaron Boone would be the one to lose his job. Klapisch says this is a possibility, and although Boone has been more at-ease as of late, Klapisch says It's "highly unlikely" that he has been assured of his job next season. There is a chance that he has already been told he won't be back next year."

Now comes word that that may not be the case at all. Elite Sports NY writes:

"Yankees fans who want manager Aaron Boone fired may need to put their trust in owner Hal Steinbrenner. Per SNY’s Andy Martino, general manager Brian Cashman will only fire his manager if his owner orders it.

Martino was quick to note that not once has Steinbrenner been involved in managerial changes. Every staff decision has been left entirely up to Cashman....

Is it a smart move to keep Boone? Probably not. Bless the guy, but he can only spin something out of nothing so many times.

But unfortunately for #YankeesTwitter, it makes sense for Brian Cashman to keep Aaron Boone and not fire him. Boone is 11 wins shy of 500 for his career and would probably already be there if not for the short 2020 season. That looks more like a manager who’s succeeded despite his front office’s mistakes as opposed to magnifying them."

And when it comes to accolades, you know how the Yankees love to market that shit and 500 wins as a manager is significant, but I cannot for the life of me understand why Hal Steinbrenner wouldn't be involved in managerial hirings or firings. That actually makes no sense to me.  

George knew everything going on in the Yankees operation... most owners do and if things don't go well, the owner will step in and fix it.  Sometimes it's moving personnel, sometimes it firings, but it's something.  I find it mindboggling that Hal isn't involved or has "not once" been involved in managerial changes. I actually think Andy Martino is full of it.

That being said, I leave you with this... something else that's interesting in that story:

"DJ LeMahieu cited managing the team as “not an easy job” and that Boone “handles it great” while still having the players’ respect. Isiah Kiner-Falefa went a step farther, lauding Boone for “willing to do anything he can for his players.”

Wow. 

Stay tuned on this one.  It's very interesting. I wonder if Klapsich follows up with his source. I want to know what happens next.
