After an excellent start to 2025, the New York Yankees have been struggling since June. Sure, the Bombers are still in the playoff picture, but expectations are much higher in the Bronx.

Which leads us to wonder whether manager Aaron Boone and general manager Brian Cashman need to start worrying about their job security.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, that moment could be coming soon.

You wonder where this is all going. What happens if they miss the playoffs? It's unlikely, but what will happen? More likely, they could be eliminated early. That's certainly a scenario we can envisage. Will Aaron Boone be back? Will Brian Cashman return? Or are they finally turning the page? It all seems to be in play.

Boone in particular could be on the hot seat, despite a World Series appearance last year, he can't seem to find a way to get the best out of his flock.

Granted, it's not entirely the skipper ‘s fault that his team is too often guilty of botched routine plays, but he bears a large part of the blame. And when he tries to publicly defend the mistakes that are made, he gives the impression that no one is accountable for his actions.

Prior to this season, the Yankees gave Boone a two-year contract extension through 2027, in his eighth season as Yankees manager. With Boone at the helm, New York has only missed the playoffs once, in 2023. But the club's World Series drought remains in the imagination.

Cashman, meanwhile, has been the team's general manager since 1998 and has helped build the rosters of the Yankees' last five World Series winners.

Following the 2022 campaign, the New Yorkers granted their manager a four-year contract extension, which will expire in 2026.
