Despite all the chatter this time of year about who’s getting canned across Major League Baseball, Robert Murray from FanSided just dropped a column confirming what’s up with the New York Yankees: Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman aren’t going anywhere after the 2026 season. Murray is reporting that the expectation is clear, neither guy is losing their job.
The “Very Good Job” Argument
Look, being in charge of the New York Yankees is no joke. It means constant media in your face and non-stop criticism, no matter what. But Murray says both Cashman and Boone have actually done a “very good job” there. He even called Cashman a “surefire Hall of Fame executive.” And for Boone? Murray believes he’s “very good at his job” and would be snapped up by another team “in a second” if he ever got let go. It sounds like he’s got a huge fan in Murray, who “firmly expect[s] both to remain with the Yankees beyond the 2026 season.” The vibe is, they “do not feel like they are in any danger of being let go.” That’s a pretty strong stance.
Winning Despite the Odds
Want to know why they’re so secure? Check the scoreboard. The Yankees are sitting pretty at 80-60 on the season. Eighty wins! And get this, they’re doing it all while Aaron Judge, their absolute best player, has been sidelined for a *long* time. Talk about grinding it out. That record puts them in second place in the American League East, which is solid, but even better, they’ve locked up the top American League Wild Card spot. Given all that, Murray thinks it’s “absolutely the right call to keep the front office together, along with Boone.” They’re making it work, and it shows.
