Aaron Boone will continue as manager of the New York Yankees after the team exercised its option for the 2025 season.
Boone led the Yankees to the World Series which ended in a 4-1 defeat to the Los Angeles Dodgers last week – their first appearance in the Fall Classic in 15 years.
Overall, he has a 603-429 record in the Bronx across seven seasons, winning three American East titles and one pennant.
“I am grateful for the trust placed in me to lead this team. It’s a responsibility – and an opportunity – that I will never take lightly,” Boone said in a statement.
“It’s a great privilege to show up for work every day and be surrounded by so many determined and talented players, coaches and staff members. Starting with the Steinbrenner family, there is a collective commitment to excellence within this organization that is embedded in all that we do.
“I’m already looking forward to reporting for spring training in Tampa and working tirelessly to return the Yankees to the postseason to compete for a World Championship.”
The New York Yankees today announced that they have exercised their 2025 club option for Manager Aaron Boone.

Cashman gets his man
Yankees GM Brian Cashman described Boone as “one of the game’s finest managers”.
He said: “Aaron is a steadying presence in our clubhouse and possesses a profound ability to connect with and foster relationships with his players.
“Consistently exhibiting these skills in such a demanding and pressurized market is what makes him one of the game’s finest managers. Our work is clearly not done, but as we pursue the ultimate prize in 2025, I am excited to have Aaron back to lead our team.”
