Despite putting together another strong regular season campaign, the Yankees were eliminated in the ALDS after losing to their American League East rival, the Toronto Blue Jays, in four games.<\/p>\n<p>In what is becoming a yearly tradition of sorts, fans are calling for the team to fire manager Aaron Boone after New York\u2019s latest playoff defeat, but once again, the team appears set to stick with him. However, changes are still set to be made, as the team recently announced a pair of major moves involving members of Boone\u2019s coaching staff ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Not Re-Signing Two Members of Aaron Boone\u2019s Coaching Staff<\/h2>\n<p>Boone took over as the Yankees manager in 2018, and since then, the story every season has largely been the same. New York has had no trouble winning in the regular season, but winning in the playoffs has been a struggle. Boone has just a 25-27 playoff record during his time in charge of the team, which is simply not good enough considering all the regular-season success the team has been enjoying.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, Boone finally managed to get the Yanks to the World Series, but they were quickly defeated by the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games. In 2025, the Yankees didn\u2019t come close to making that sort of run, despite posting the exact same record in the regular season for the second year in a row. Simply put, the sky-high expectations for the team were not met.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the lack of playoff success, Boone has continued to hold onto his job with each passing year. The same can\u2019t be said for a couple of members of his coaching staff, though, as New York is looking to make smaller changes around the edges of Boone\u2019s staff, rather than just firing him. As a result, the team announced that bullpen coach Mike Harkey and infield\/first base coach Travis Chapman will not be returning to the team for the 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron Boone and Brian Cashman confirmed several previously reported changes to the Yankees\u2019 coaching staff on Thursday, acknowledging that longtime bullpen coach Mike Harkey and infield\/first base coach Travis Chapman will not return,\u201d Gary Phillips of \u201cNew York Daily News\u201d reported. \u201cBoone added that the Yankees are exploring different roles for assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler, who will be replaced by Jake Hirst.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Need a Big Offseason After Latest Postseason Woes<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5543580\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.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\/Brian-Cashman.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=150,95 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=300,189 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=768,485 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=1024,647 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=1536,970 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=782,494 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=780,493 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=425,268 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=268,169 268w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=285,180 285w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Brian-Cashman.jpg?resize=238,150 238w\" alt=\"Yankees Announce 2 Changes to Aaron Boone's Coaching Staff\" width=\"782\" height=\"494\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5543580\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5543580\">GettyNew York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>It remains to be seen how long Boone can hold onto his job without delivering a title to the Yankees, but for the time being, the team is committed to him. That means it\u2019s on general manager Brian Cashman and the front office to do what they can to upgrade their roster over the offseason in an effort to give Boone the best possible chance at succeeding.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are, these moves alone won\u2019t win New York a championship, but it\u2019s a start to what figures to be a wildly important offseason. And in a sense, it\u2019s foreshadowing for Boone that if he can\u2019t get this team over the hump soon, bigger changes involving his own future with the Yankees could be on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>Owen Crisafulli Owen Crisafulli is a Breaking News Writer at Heavy.
