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.
