Yankees Moving On From Manager, GM ‘In Play’, Insider Claims

Are the New York Yankees ready to make massive leadership changes this offseason?

With 32 games remaining on their schedule, the Yankees were 70-60 entering Monday, a half-game back of the Boston Red Sox, who sit atop the American League wild-card standings after winning three of four games at Yankee Stadium over the weekend.

It was a series that only emboldened critics of Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who has been dealing with a din of negativity from fans and the media throughout the 2025 campaign.

On Sunday, The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal suggested that Boone’s job could be in jeopardy, depending on how the Yankees end the season.

Rosenthal also went as far as to say that Yankees general manager Brian Cashman could also be on the chopping block.

“This is a team … that lacks a fundamental soundness, a team that, frankly, as I wrote during last year’s World Series, at times looks like it doesn’t know how to play baseball,” Rosenthal said during a new episode of the “Fair Territory” program.

“That’s a huge problem. Now, things can get better … when (Aaron) Judge gets back to the outfield … they get better if Max Fried is as good as he looked in this (Red Sox) series.”

“But … what happens if they miss the playoffs?” Rosenthal continued.

“Unlikely, but what happens? More likely, they could get knocked out early. That’s certainly a scenario we can envision happening. Does Aaron Boone come back? Does Brian Cashman come back, or do they finally turn the page? All of this seemingly is in play.”

Boone was hired by the Yankees on December 4, 2017.

Cashman has been around for much, much longer. He was named Yankees GM in February 1998.
