Every season seems to be the same story, as the team has continued to struggle to find a way to take advantage of superstar slugger Aaron Judge\u2019s absurd production, leading to rumors swirling around manager Aaron Boone and general manager Brian Cashman\u2018s respective futures with the team.<\/p>\n<p>The calls for Boone\u2019s head have only increased after this latest postseason defeat, with former players like Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez even chiming in on the matter. After both guys made critical comments about Boone, Cashman stepped in and blasted both of them for speaking on a situation they know nothing about.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Brian Cashman Takes Aim at Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez<\/h2>\n<div id=\"95127d6604054352c6b1e6579d666cc6\">\n<div>\n<article>Brian Cashman had A LOT to say in response to Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez\u2019s comments on the front office making in-game decisions for Aaron Boone \ud83d\ude33 @EvanRobertsWFAN @ShaunMorash<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Since taking over as the Yankees\u2019 manager in 2018, the story with Boone has largely been the same every year. New York can win at will in the regular season, but once it comes to the playoffs, the team cannot find a way to get over the hump. In 2024, New York finally found a way to make it to the World Series for the first time under Boone\u2019s lead, but they quickly lost in five games to the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 campaign was much of the same. The Yanks finished with an identical record as last season, but they quickly bowed out in the ALDS after losing to the Toronto Blue Jays in four games. In the team\u2019s brief playoff run, Boone\u2019s decision-making was once again questionable at best, and his seat felt scorching hot.<\/p>\n<p>New York has never seemed truly interested in moving on from Boone, despite the outside chatter surrounding him. That now includes recent comments from Jeter and Rodriguez suggesting that the front office is making in-game decisions, not Boone. When asked about those comments, Cashman quickly shot them down and took aim at the two Yankees legends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not true. Clearly, they don\u2019t know,\u201d Cashman said on WFAN Sports Radio in response to the rumors surrounding Boone that Jeter and Rodriguez helped stir up. \u201cI think that\u2019s the bugaboo that people get to throw out there when they\u2019ve got nothing else to throw \u2026 We\u2019ve never picked the lineup, we don\u2019t tell him who to play, we don\u2019t tell him who to pitch, whether it\u2019s the pen or rotation \u2026 It\u2019s just a sad, sad throwaway comment for people to make that don\u2019t really know.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Should the Yankees Fire Aaron Boone?<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5551822\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=782,440 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=780,439 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=425,239 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=320,180 320w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Yankees-Gerrit-Cole-Recovery.jpg?resize=267,150 267w\" alt=\"Yankees GM Brian Cashman Fires Back at Derek Jeter &amp; Alex Rodriguez\" width=\"782\" height=\"440\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5551822\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5551822\">GettyManager Aaron Boone of the New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>At some point, something has to change in New York. The team and its fans want World Series championships, but to this point, Boone has been unable to deliver. Some of it is due to the construction of the team\u2019s roster, but Boone also hasn\u2019t helped himself with questionable decisions that get put under an even brighter light with each passing season.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of how committed to Boone the Yankees are, it\u2019s clear that time is running out for him to lead his squad to this promised land. Judge isn\u2019t getting any younger, and every season they fail to win it all with him leading the way is a missed opportunity. For now, it seems Boone is safe, but the question of whether or not he should have a job seems set to be heavily debated once again over the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>Owen Crisafulli Owen Crisafulli is a Breaking News Writer at Heavy.
