Arguably the most questionable move made by manager Aaron Boone in the loss was turning the ball over to Yerry De Los Santos in the sixth inning of a tie game. De Los Santos isn't one of the better relievers in New York's bullpen, yet Boone elected to bring him out in an important spot, and he paid the price.

The New York Yankees’ 12-8 victory over the St.Louis Cardinals granted them a series win on Saturday, and slugger Ben Rice was the man of the hour. The 26-year-old reached base four times, and tied a career high with seven RBIs.

Boone, the Yankees’ manager and former third baseman, has heard his name called alongside other Old-Timers in years past. Usually, his intro is accompanied by video of the famous walk-off homer he hit against the Red Sox in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS.

Jasson Dominguez was on the bench on Wednesday for the third straight game, and New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke about the decision.

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo joined The Show with Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman to talk hardball this week and the conversation drifted over to Boone. Thankfully, the legendary radio host had his list of top-10 MLB managers handy and ticked through them.

Cincinnati hired Francona on Oct. 7, 2024, while the Yankees did not finish their season until their Game 5 World Series debacle against the Dodgers on Oct. 30. Boone still had one year left on his deal before the Yankees gave him a two-year extension in February through the 2027 season.

If the New York Yankees get to the postseason, manager Aaron Boone may leave rookie fireballing sensation out of the rotation.
