The New York Yankees have announced that Aaron Boone will continue as the team's manager for an eighth season after the organization exercised his 2025 option on Friday. Boone, who has been at the helm since 2018, boasts an impressive record of 603-429 during his tenure, leading the Yankees to three AL East titles and one pennant.

Under Boone's leadership, the Yankees made a significant postseason run this year, reaching the World Series for the first time since 2009. Despite falling short to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a five-game series, Boone's strategic acumen and ability to motivate his players have been widely praised.

Boone's contract extension comes after he signed a three-year deal in October 2021, which included the team option for the 2025 season. General manager Brian Cashman emphasized Boone's positive impact on the team, highlighting his ability to build strong relationships with players and navigate the high-pressure environment of managing the Yankees.

Boone's success with the Yankees places him in esteemed company, as he joins the ranks of legendary managers Casey Stengel and Joe Torre as the third skipper to guide the team to the postseason in six of his first seven years.

The Yankees have scheduled a news conference for Monday where Boone will address the contract extension. In a statement, Boone expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue leading the team, emphasizing his commitment to the responsibility bestowed upon him.

As the Yankees gear up for the upcoming seasons, Boone's extension signals continuity and stability for the franchise, ensuring that his leadership will guide the team towards further success on the field.
