Yankees' Aaron Boone, Hal Steinbrenner Have Discussed Contract Extension

The New York Yankees picked up the option in manager Aaron Boone's contract for the 2025 season in November, though his future beyond that has remained up in the air.

Boone said Tuesday, however, that the sides have held talks:

Team owner Hal Steinbrenner had also indicated in late January that the two sides would discuss an extension.

"I've always thought Aaron Boone was a very good manager and that's his reputation in the industry," he said at the time. "We will be talking with him in the days and weeks to come. We're trying to hit the priorities right now, which is the roster itself. But there will be conversations had with him about potentially staying longer than that."

In seven seasons as New York's manager, Boone has registered a 603-429 record, leading the Yankees to three AL East titles, six playoff berths and 2024's appearance in the World Series, which the team lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.
