Despite five seasons of failing to reach the Fall Classic, Hal Steinbrenner sees no reason to make a change with his manager. Aaron Boone is expected to return as the Yankees skipper for a sixth season.
“As far as Boone’s concerned, we just signed him and for all the same reasons I listed a year ago, I believe he is a very good manager,” Steinbrenner told an Associated Press reporter Wednesday outside the Yankees’ player development complex in Tampa. “I don’t see a change there.”
Boone just completed the first season of his new three-year contract extension signed last October. He has led the Yanks to the postseason every single season he’s been at the helm and overall owns a 427-281 win-loss record. However, fans have relentlessly called for change after the Bombers failed to win the American League pennant for the 13th straight season.
