The New York Yankees will not retaliate by not exercising Aaron Boone‘s option for the 2025 season, after failing to win the World Series. The Bronx team is expected to activate the manager’s option for the 2025 season, according to MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch.
Boone led the organization to its first World Series in the last 15 years and also won the American League East, with the best record in the young circuit, thanks to its 94 wins and 68 losses.
The strategist was key to the team’s success this year, as they were plagued by injuries since the beginning of the year, when they lost their ace Gerrit Cole for almost the first half of the championship.

DJ LeMahieu, Anthony Rizzo, Giancarlo Stanton, Néstor Cortés Jr., among other important players, also suffered injuries. But the strategist always found a way for the team to stay at the top of its division.
The contract that the Yankees gave the manager after the 2021 campaign was for three years and includes an option for 2025, which is precisely what has the debate open about whether the Yankees should bring him back for next season.
The truth is that the options on the market do not seem to be better than those of a strategist who already knows the organization and the players.
