REPORT: BOONE’S SEAT IS GETTING WARM. GOOD.

For years, the Yankees have sold us the Aaron Boone résumé. Winning seasons. Playoff appearances. Great clubhouse. Players love him.

Wonderful. Where’s the championship?

Now Jon Heyman reports that Boone may finally be on “slightly less steady ground,” with his future potentially depending on what happens this October.

And it’s about time. Boone has managed the Yankees since 2018. He’s won plenty of games. He finally reached the World Series in 2024. But here’s the only number Yankees fans really care about:

ZERO championships.

That’s not being unfair. It's a fact. That’s being a Yankee fan. This isn’t a franchise where simply making the playoffs earns you a parade. Boone has had Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole, big payrolls and plenty of opportunities.

At some point, almost has to stop being good enough. I don't hate Aaron Boone. I think he's a bad manager that does not command respect.

Nine years without a championship in New York? Come on. The Yankees haven't won it all since 2009. Boone has been given plenty of runway to change that.

So maybe his seat really is getting warmer. Good.

Win No. 28. That's the job.
