Following the Game 5 loss, Yankees manager Aaron Boone was asked about his job status, and he gave a succinct answer: "We'll see. I don't know." There's nothing more that can be said, really. Boone was speaking less than 30 minutes following the Game 5 loss. No major decisions are made that quickly after a World Series loss.

So, when the topic of Boone’s future came up, he grew slightly tense. He leaned both elbows on the table. He wrapped his arms around his chest like a man bracing for impact. Not an hour before, Boone watched from his usual perch on the dugout steps as the Yankees fell, 7-6, to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a deciding Game 5.

After helping lead the Yankees to their first World Series in 15 years, the team is expected to bring manager Aaron Boone back for the 2025 season.
