Aaron Boone ‘happy’ Alex Cora received extension from Red Sox
BOSTON — Manager Alex Cora likely won’t have to answer the question of whether he can imagine managing the Yankees, or any other team, next season.

Aaron Boone spitting out expletives after Yankees’ latest loss
There was a sound of the table hitting something, although it was an open hand, not a clenched fist. There were some curses.

The Yankees played with heavy hearts on Monday following the death of Rachel Minaya, the wife of team executive Omar Minaya, on Saturday at age 55.

Aaron Boone goes to bat for Yankees after Luis Severino’s dig on lineup
The Yankees scored six runs on Friday night to give them an MLB-high 494 runs this season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone defends center fielder after lackadaisical effort leads to brutal error
New York Yankees fans aired their frustration with Trent Grisham on Thursday but didn’t get a similar response from his manager, at least publicly.

A Florida woman accused of killing her boyfriend by locking him in a suitcase during a game of hide-and-seek must represent herself in her murder trial after going through eight public defenders, a judge ruled last week.

Yankees have no lingering issues after Marcus Stroman outburst: Aaron Boone
TORONTO — Marcus Stroman came to the Yankees as a fiercely competitive player. For the first time this season, that frustration bubbled to the surface on the field and in the dugout Friday night, when he was upset that Gleyber Torres didn’t turn a potential double play soon enough.
