Aaron Boone Agrees to 2-Year Extension with the New York Yankees
Managerial Success
The New York Yankees announced that they and manager Aaron Boone have agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension through the 2027 season.
Boone, 51, has had nothing but success throughout the majority of his tenure as New York’s skipper, besides the lone 2023 season where they missed the playoffs. He has a managerial record of 603-429 (.584) and has led the Yankees to the postseason in his first six seasons at the helm (2018-22, ‘24).
Averaging 95 Wins per Year
Excluding the COVID-abbreviated 60-game 2020 season, Boone’s clubs have averaged 95 wins per year during his tenure. He is the second manager in Major League Baseball history to reach the postseason in six of his first seven seasons (minimum of two games managed per season).
Third Yankees Manager to Reach the Postseason
The La Mesa, Calif., native is the third Yankees manager to make the playoffs in six of his first seven seasons with the team, joining Casey Stengel (also six of first seven) and Joe Torre (each of his first 12).
2024 World Series Run
In 2024, Boone led the club back to the World Series for the first time since 2009 and won the franchise’s 41st American League pennant. The Bronx Bombers won their third division title under him, after posting a League-best 94-68 (.580) record.
Managerial Wins and Team Records
Boone’s 603 managerial wins rank seventh in team history behind only Joe McCarthy (1,460-867-21), Torre (1,173-767-2), Stengel (1,149-696-6), Miller Huggins (1,067-719-10), Ralph Houk (944-806-7), and Joe Girardi (910-710).
Since 2018, the Yankees have posted the second-best record in the American League and fourth-best record in the major, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers (656-337, .635), Houston Astros (618, 413, .599), and Atlanta Braves (604-427, .586).
In that span, the Yanks’ 22 postseason wins are also the second-most in the AL and fourth-most in the Majors.
Conclusion
The Yankees have secured a crucial piece of their puzzle with the extension of Aaron Boone, ensuring that the manager will be at the helm for the next two seasons. With a proven track record of success, Boone will lead the team in hopes of earning the franchise’s 28th World Series title.
