Aaron Boone will return as Yankees manager in 2027.
Boone is entering the final year of his contract with the Yankees in ‘27, which will mark his 10th season at the helm for New York. In 2026, the Yankees finished with 93 wins and secured the top Wild Card spot. They swept the Red Sox in two games in the Wild Card Series before they were swept in the ALDS by the Rays.
During the Yankees' news conference on Wednesday, Boone said entering the season with an expiring deal “doesn’t bother me at all.”
In nine seasons with the Yankees, Boone’s clubs have won three AL East division titles and made it to the playoffs eight times, only missing out during the 2023 season. The Yankees have advanced to the ALCS three times during that span, including a World Series appearance in 2024 in a loss to the Dodgers.
It was widely believed that Boone would be returning in 2027. While the Yankees’ season ended in disappointing fashion, the club has been one of baseball’s most competitive teams every season during Boone’s tenure. Their 790 wins under Boone rank second only to the Dodgers (849 wins) over the past nine years.
