MLB Rumors: Aaron Boone's New Yankees Contract Worth $15M Over 3 Seasons

One week after the New York Yankees announced a contract extension with manager Aaron Boone, details of his deal have been revealed.

Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, Boone will earn $15 million over the next three seasons with salaries of $4.5 million in 2025, $5 million in 2026 and $5.5 million in 2027.

Boone had one year remaining on his previous deal that was signed in October 2021.

While manager salaries aren't often made public, Heyman noted Boone's new contract makes him one of the highest-paid skippers in MLB.

Per a May 2024 report from Rodney Reeves of Front Office Sports, Craig Counsell of the Chicago Cubs is the highest-paid manager at $8 million annually.

Boone's average salary of $5 million is tied with Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks for No. 2 in MLB.

Reeves' report had Boone as the 10th-highest-paid manager under his previous deal with an average annual salary of $3.3 million.

Boone was a surprise hire by the Yankees when he originally replaced Joe Girardi in December 2017. He had no previous coaching experience at any level and spent eight seasons as a broadcaster following his retirement as a player in 2010.

Since taking over as manager in the Bronx, Boone has been incredibly successful. The Yankees rank fourth in MLB in wins since 2018 and have made the playoffs six times in seven seasons.

Boone's 603 career wins are the seventh-most for a manager in Yankees history.

Last season marked the Yankees first appearance in the World Series since the 2009 season. They were defeated by the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.

The Yankees will open the regular season at home on March 27 against the Milwaukee Brewers.
