Yankees Face Boone, Cashman Questions After 2nd Straight ALDS Exit and 17-Year Title Drought
3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Oct 8
Summary
A second straight ALDS elimination by Tampa Bay has intensified scrutiny on Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman, with the Yankees now 17 seasons removed from their last World Series title.
Boone appears more vulnerable than Cashman: the manager is signed through 2027, but his club is 1-8 in postseason series against teams with better regular-season records during his 9-year tenure.
Cashman, whose contract expires this offseason, is still viewed as secure because Hal Steinbrenner trusts him deeply; any front-office change would more likely come if Cashman chooses a lesser role.
The likeliest outcome is continuity rather than a shake-up—Boone returning for a lame-duck 2027 and Cashman staying on—despite growing concern that organizational stability has turned into stagnation.
