Where The Yankees Stand With Aaron Boone, Brian Cashman, per Report

Editors’ note, Oct. 26 at 1:30 p.m. ET: An earlier version of this story suggested the Yankees were expected to retain both Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman, per a report by Andy Martino of SNY. It has been corrected to reflect that these are early reports and conversations are still ongoing.

A Monday report by SNY's Andy Martino shed light on where things stand between the Yankees and the team’s general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone. 

"Cashman’s contract is up, of course, and most in the organization believe that [Yankees owner] Hal Steinbrenner will ask him back, and that Cashman will accept. If Cashman returns, Boone—finishing up the first year of three in his current deal—is expected to come back, too," Martino wrote. 

Cashman has been with the organization since 1986, when he began as an intern. He’s worked as the general manager and senior vice president since ’98. His contract is up now that the Yankees’ season is officially over.

Boone just finished the first year of his three-year deal, though he has managed the team since 2018. He took the team to the ALCS this year before the Yankees were swept by the Astros.

Per Martino, it’s possible things can get sidetracked. 

"The only way it seems that this could go sideways for either of them is if fan vitriol becomes so toxic that Steinbrenner decides he must initiate a GM change that no one believes he wants to make," Martino wrote. 

Nothing is for certain yet, though. In Cashman’s tenure, the Yankees have won four World Series titles and finished with a winning season every year.
