Yankees manager Aaron Boone is bothered a little by criticism of his team’s defense from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly and defended New York’s fielding following a World Series of mistakes and mental errors.

Aaron Boone is returning as manager of the New York Yankees in 2025 after the team decided to pick up his contract option. But ... that's it? As of right now, with no ongoing extension talks, Boone will head into next season as a lame duck candidate.
