As has already been stated, no way Boone would have finished the season, let alone get an extension, if George still ran things in the Bronx.

A clear sign of what the Yankees have become these days. 3rd best team inside their own division and one of the people responsible for it gets rewarded with an extension. Boston could be on their way to another WS, while we keep the same people who have turned the franchise into a usual WC contender at best, in charge.

Call it spoiled, it’s obviously still a much better product then what Pirates fans usually get, but it’s tough to watch when winning it all clearly isn’t a priority above the players and dugout. If the people at the top don’t care other then just staying competitive, why should fans?

Nothing to say too much about Boone getting an extension. Not the right move. I don't feel like it's necessarily a game changer though. There's literally not a manager out there I don't question. Boone is very green though.

It's more about the culture and the team changing its identity then anything.

Im not surprised they’re bringing Boone back but I’m shocked he got a three year extension, makes me think they never even considered not bringing him back. He did have some leverage though since his contract is about to expire and could threaten to explore the market

I'm completely shocked Aaron Boone was brought back on a three-year deal. I can't believe they looked around and thought the best option for manager was the same manager.

George must be rolling around in his grave.

Negotiations have been taking place since last spring, and each side thinks the other has not made proposals that will lead toward an agreement replacing the five-year contract that expires at 11:59 p.m. EST on Dec. 1. MLB may attempt a signing freeze with the start of a lockout, or the marketplace might grind to a halt on its own, even more pronounced than the slowdowns of the 2017-18 and 2018-19 offseasons. Agents say they have received no guidance from the players’ association. Some have braced for a two-week scramble to sign next March or later, whenever a lockout ends.

Cardinals to hire Oliver Marmol as their manager today.

Glad we stayed within the clubhouse to replace Shildt.

Padres have interviewed Rojas and Shildt for the manager job. Would love to see Rojas have success somewhere but the Padres are already close to hiring a pitching coach before the manager which tells me the manager won’t really be doing much of anything
