New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is, without a doubt, a nice guy. That much has been evident in his daily interactions with the press, his mannerisms in the dugout, and relationships with his players.
But many would argue that’s one of his fatal flaws.

For a prestigious organization, it’s simply unacceptable, and one can only hope the front office has realized that in 2021 — his fourth year at the helm.
