TAMPA, Fla. — The New York Yankees and manager Aaron Boone have come to an agreement on a contract extension that will keep him in the position through the 2027 season. This news was announced on Thursday. Boone is about to embark on his eighth season as the team’s manager, having had his 2025 option exercised by the Yankees last November.
Under Boone’s leadership, the Yankees have achieved a record of 603 wins and 429 losses, along with securing three American League East titles and one pennant. The team made a notable return to the World Series last year after a long absence since 2009, although they ultimately fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.
In his managerial career, Boone has accomplished the impressive feat of guiding the Yankees to the postseason in six out of his first seven seasons, joining the ranks of legendary Yankees managers Casey Stengel and Joe Torre.
In October 2021, Boone had previously signed a three-year deal which also included a team option for the 2025 season. Prior to his managerial career, he played as a third baseman in Major League Baseball from 1997 until 2009 and was an All-Star in 2003 after being traded to the Yankees from the Cincinnati Reds during the season. His memorable postseason moment came when he hit a decisive home run in the 11th inning against Boston’s Tim Wakefield during Game 7 of the American League Championship Series, clinching the pennant for the Yankees.
