Story summary

Jon Heyman of the New York Post argues that Aaron Boone should step down as manager of the Yankees due to his poor performance over nine seasons with no World Series victories. Despite constructing strong teams, including having Aaron Judge, top-tier pitching rotations, and leading MLB payrolls annually since 2018, the team has failed to win a championship. Heyman suggests that by old standards set by George Steinbrenner, Boone would have been fired six years earlier. The Yankees aim for their 28th World Series title but fall short despite their resources, making Boone’s continued tenure questionable given these unmet expectations.

🔮 The Brewers, from MLB’s 30th market, went practically wire-to-wire, logging 114 victories en route to a championship hardly anyone predicted, even the friendly folks of Brew City.
🔮 The real shame now is that the Yankees couldn’t even beat these Rays.

🔮 The Yankees are expected to extend the $23.15M qualifying offer to free-agent closer David Bednar, who had a terrific year, sources say.

Narrative

Zero for nine shouldn’t suffice for a team that has Aaron Judge, a team that perennially constructs a top-two rotation in the American League, a team that has the highest payroll in its league year after year, a team that’s searching for its 28th World Series win since 2009.
