How Yankees view Aaron Boone’s future with contract decision looming

The Yankees have an option on Aaron Boone through 2025, and it’s expected they’ll pick it up anyway.

That shouldn’t be a surprise, considering he took the Yankees to their first World Series in fifteen years.

No one should be fired for one mistake (and Nestor Cortes over Tim Hill is debatable, especially after Cortes looked great in Game 3). They won’t do that either.

Meanwhile, Dave Roberts has done a fantastic job and deserves an extension.

The Dodgers are sparing no expense, but Roberts appears to be vastly underpaid with a reported estimate of $3 million. Dodgers baseball president Andrew Friedman, when asked if this is Roberts’ best job, said he does a great job every year.
