Unfortunately, the head coach of the New York Yankees decided to terminate his contract due to…

Manager Aaron Boone did not consider his future in the Yankee Stadium dugout before the New York Yankees defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-4 on Monday to cap off their home schedule.

After being knocked out of the postseason on Sunday, the Yankees will not be participating in the postseason for the first time in manager Joe Boone’s six seasons.

With six games remaining, the organization can turn its attention to 2024 and the adjustments that will be required to bring postseason baseball back to the Bronx the following autumn. What to do with Boone, who has one year left on his contract, will be the first concern for General Manager Brian Cashman and Chairman and Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner.

(It should be noted that the Yankees have a history of letting managers finish their contracts. Since Stump Merrill was replaced by Buck Showalter in 1991—Steinbrenner’s father, George, was serving a lifetime suspension at the time Merrill was fired—the team has not made a move mid-contract.) Boone isn’t worrying about what might happen next.

According to MLB.com, he said, “I don’t worry about it. I’m completely comfortable with who I am and the things I can control. In my mind, I’m doing everything to head into the offseason prepared to put us in a better position to try and compete for a championship. That’s the goal, and until they take that away, that’s what’s my attention.”

With a 79-77 record, the Yankees will try to avoid ending the season with a losing record for the first time since 1992 when they play in Toronto and Kansas City this week.

Boone, who has guided the Yankees to two seasons with 100 wins each and two trips to the American League Championship Series, stated, “We have an expectation around here to be playing next week at this time, and unfortunately, that’s not the case.”

After the disappointing season, Steinbrenner promised a “deep dive” into the organization with a review of every aspect in an August interview with the Associated Press.

The captain of the Yankees, Aaron Judge, stated on Sunday that he anticipates modifications to the team’s $360 million, nine-year contract.
