This comes after the Yankees exercised Boone\u2019s club option for the 2025 season this past November.<\/p>\n<p id=\"E26TLW64QJDX3BRHP4QPTY7LKQ\">Boone is entering his eighth season at the helm in the Bronx this year. His 603-429 (.584) record is the second-best winning percentage among active managers behind Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers (.627). Boone\u2019s 603 wins are the seventh-most in Yankees history. He\u2019s been subject to waves of criticism \u2014 for certain decisions along the way and the Yankees&#8217; inability to get over the hump in October \u2014 but players adore Boone and the front office was clearly eager to keep him in pinstripes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"DQO46ETACZFPNKYN7TYC3CXP34\">Boone had insisted recently, and since the Yankees\u2019 World Series run last fall, that there is no other place he\u2019d rather be. Over the offseason, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner vouched for the 51-year-old, saying there would be ongoing conversations to keep him around longer than the 2025 campaign. And Cashman has always spoken highly of Boone, recently praising the manager for his temperament and ability to handle the ups and downs of each season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"XLP6BSJBZBCDPAOG3N3RJKCSZU\">\u201cYou always want to have the guy for as long as you can have, as long as it\u2019s warranted and it makes enough sense and they control the room and obviously do a great job,\u201d Cashman said. \u201cAnd I think [Boone] controls the room. He does a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Yankees Spring Training TV schedule: FREE live streams, times, TV channels, dates for New York Yankees at MLB spring training 2025<\/li>\n<li>Yankees catcher with improbable, inspiring backstory battling for roster spot<\/li>\n<li>Yankees\u2019 Aaron Boone is back with no ring: He needs one piece to finally win | Klapisch<\/li>\n<li>Yankees&#8217; Clarke Schmidt details back issues, what\u2019s next<\/li>\n<li>Gleyber Torres can\u2019t escape Yankees talk: \u2018I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on there&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<p id=\"SPGQGCIPG5E5ZO4NASQZU4KAVM\"><i>Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
