The New York Yankees announced that manager Aaron Boone has received a two-year contract extension that will take him through the 2027 season.
The Yankees said on November 8th that they would be exercising Boone’s 2025 option, coming just nine days after the club lost the World Series in five games to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Boone said after his option was picked up that he looked forward to “working tirelessly to return the Yankees to the postseason to compete for a world championship.”
Boone, 51, is entering his eighth year as Yankees manager, and is one of three managers in franchise history to lead the Yankees to the postseason in six of his first seven years (joining Casey Stengel and Joe Torre). Boone led the Yankees to a 603-429 record over the last seven years, with his Yankees teams going 22-23 in the postseason during that span — including their 2024 run to the World Series.
The Yankees will host the Tampa Bay Rays in their first spring training game at 1:05 p.m. EDT Friday at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Their regular-season opener will take place March 27 against the Milwaukee Brewers at Yankee Stadium.
