Yankees Fans Send Clear Aaron Boone Message After Latest Ugly Loss
Yankees Fans Send Clear Aaron Boone Message After Latest Ugly Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For once, New York Yankees fans are standing by manager Aaron Boone as the going gets tough. Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels marked the Yankees' third straight shutout, the club's longest drought since September 2016. Aaron Judge and the Yankees' offense haven't scored in 29 consecutive innings, and their first-place lead is down to 2 1/2 games. Advertisement Social media users typically blame Boone in times like this, and yes, a segment of the fandom is angry with the Yankees' veteran skipper. However, others continue defending Boone, arguing that the Yankees' embarrassing slump isn't his fault. 'To blame Boone is idiotic,' one X/Twitter user wrote. 'He juggled the lineup ... but it still didn't work.' Added another: 'It isn't Aaron Boone who hasn't scored a run in [29] consecutive innings.' New York Yankees manager Aaron BooneJason Parkhurst-Imagn Images The Yankees haven't led since last Thursday's 1-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Angels pitchers notched 22 strikeouts over the series' first 21 innings, with catcher Austin Wells going down on strikes four times in that span. Advertisement Yankees captain Aaron Judge is 2-for-20 with 13 strikeouts in his last six games. Veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is only 9-for-53 in June, and center fielder Cody Bellinger only has five hits and an RBI in his most recent 33 at-bats. 'When the entire lineup doesn't hit. It's absurd to blame the manager,' WFAN (NY) radio host Chris McMonigle commented. In a separate response, McMonigle told an X user, 'When the lineup is shut down like this. You know it's not on him. Not EVERY blunder is his fault. Not EVERY time a reliever gives up runs. He's not perfect. But they sure do win a lot.' New York Yankees outfielder Aaron JudgeDavid Butler II-Imagn Images To be clear, not every Yankees fan is letting Boone off the hook. A quick X/Twitter search reveals a significant number of fans wanting the Yankees to change managers amid the five-game losing streak. Advertisement It's nonetheless surprising that a decent portion of the fanbase has Boone's back, and we'll see if he—and, by extension, the Yankees—reward their faith. 'This goes beyond Aaron Boone,' read one post. 'These are PROFESSIONAL HIGH PAID baseball players on the field who aren't being held accountable. Doesn't fall on the manager!!'

Poaching $80 Million Yankees Superstar Would Be Red Sox's Wildest Pivot Yet
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Even after trading Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants, the Boston Red Sox are still in the postseason race this year. Regardless, they will need to address some holes in their roster next offseason. The Red Sox will reportedly save $250 million by trading Devers, and MassLive's Chris Cotillo suggested they could use the money to find a new first baseman. Triston Casas was struggling even before his injury, and the future of first base in Boston is unclear. "Casas' injury is so severe — and the recovery is so long — that the Red Sox shouldn't count on him being a lock to play every day in 2026," Cotillo wrote. "There's a real question of who projects as Boston's long-term first baseman and there's no perfect fit on the roster (or in the system). It's too early to know exactly who will be available at the deadline. But in Boston's search for a big bat, the club should look for a big-name, everyday option at first, and one with control, too." NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 29: Cody Bellinger #35 of the New York Yankees celebrates after hitting a home run in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Yankee Stadium on March 29,... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MARCH 29: Cody Bellinger #35 of the New York Yankees celebrates after hitting a home run in the first inning against the Milwaukee Brewers at Yankee Stadium on March 29, 2025 in New York City. MoreThe Red Sox should have plenty of options at first base, but perhaps the best option is on the New York Yankees. Cody Bellinger has a player option after this season built into his $80 million deal. Bellinger could opt out, and FanSided's Drew Koch suggested the Red Sox could make a run at him. "While the Boston outfield would seem to be under lock and key for the foreseeable future, Bellinger has plenty of experience at first base," wrote Koch. "He's got one of the sweetest left-handed swings in the game and could opt out of his contract with New York this offseason. Many baseball fans forget that Bellinger is still just 29 years old." Bellinger is a two-time All-Star, two-time Silver Slugger and former National League MVP. He is slashing .251/.320/.442 this season with 10 home runs. He would figure to be a full-time first baseman for the Red Sox, who have Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu and Jarren Duran in their outfield right now.
