WHY IS HAL STEINBRENNER REWARDING BOONE'S MEDIOCRITY?

If Aaron Boone had been a truly successful manager—one who led the Yankees to a World Series title—I’d be open to a discussion about extending his contract. But he hasn’t? What if every season under his leadership has been filled with poor decisions, costly mismanagement, and frustrating losses? What if the reality is that Boone simply isn’t the leader this team needs? Oh wait, that's true.

So when Boone says, “no place I’d rather be,” what exactly is he talking about? A dream vacation? A getaway to Disney World? Maybe a trip to Barbados? Because when it comes to managing the New York Yankees, his presence isn’t taking the team anywhere meaningful.

Boone has expressed confidence in securing an extension before Opening Day, telling reporters on Saturday that he’s "optimistic" about working out a new deal. But optimism doesn’t change the facts:

Since taking over in 2018, Boone has only managed to reach the World Series once—just this past season in 2024—and even then, he failed to bring home a championship. His teams have consistently fallen short: fourth place in 2023, second place in 2018, 2020, and 2021. A solid regular-season record of 603-429 might look impressive on paper, but what does it truly mean if he can’t finish the job when it matters most?

There should not be talk of an extension for this loser. There should be talk of a firing. What the hell are we doing? The idea of extending Boone’s contract signals one thing—the Yankees simply don’t want to put in the effort to find a real, championship-caliber manager. Boone is fine. Not great, not transformative—just fine. And apparently, that’s good enough for the Yankees organization.

Settling for mediocrity isn’t what this franchise was built on. Extending Boone would only prove that “just enough” is now the standard in the Bronx. And that? That’s pathetic.

By the way... I'm not wrong.
