Aaron Boone goes off on media in fiery defense of Yankees' effort: ‘I don't care what you want'
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free Aaron Boone has had it with people questioning the Yankees' effort — and the hyper-analyzing of his and his player's remarks to the media. The Yankees manager went off during his weekly appearance on Jomboy's 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast during a discussion about the team's 10-17 record against AL East opponents this season, Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero's dive into home plate during Monday's game and the notion that their rivals might want the games more than them. Advertisement Boone turned his fury toward the media and made it clear he wants his team to be even-keeled. 'Understand the pestering, bantering, leading questions that are being asked of our guys,' a fired-up Boone said. 'And I don't want them to just fly off the handle and be emotional. We've been pretty good over the years of compartmentalizing and dealing with the everyday grind of the regular season and playing in New York, and you start getting emotional and going down that road, it's a bad trait.' 3 Aaron Boone (c.) talking to Jomboy (l.) and Talkin' Jake (r.) on the 'Talkin' Yanks' podcast.

YouTube/Talkin' Yanks Advertisement Boone also has an issue with the interpretations of players' comments after games and the idea that because they're not outwardly upset, that they perhaps aren't too concerned about results. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS 'Everyone's different. Stop with the reaction of how a guy answers a frickin' question. Seriously,' Boone said. 'We gotta win. OK? We are obsessed with it and hell-bent preparation-wise and guys give a rip. … Some people will give you colorful answers. … Some guys throw their helmet. Does that make you feel good? Some guys are calm. Stop it. It doesn't mean a guy cares more or less because he dives into home plate. It's you've gotta be angry at something because we didn't win.' Advertisement Jomboy said that the urgency Boone insists the Yankees feel doesn't come across. 'You're cherry-picking the answers you like that you're like, 'yeah, that's tugging at my fandom in the right way.' Sorry, they're not robots,' Boone said. Jomboy then said he wanted more non-robotic answers. Advertisement 'I don't care what you want,' Boone fired back. 'These are answers of pestering, everyday questions. I want our guys in a good like, boom. We are locked in, when it's s–tty and when it's really good, and all in between. I want us locked. I want us showing up every day ready to prepare and ready to go. Period. It's a hard game.' 3 Aaron Boone Brett Davis-Imagn Images The Yankees (55-45) lost to the Blue Jays, 4-1, Monday night to fall four games behind Toronto for the AL East lead. That was their fifth straight loss to a division foe after being swept by the Blue Jays in four games earlier this month.

Yankees moving All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base after 28 consecutive starts at third
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is returning to his natural position. After starting 28 games in a row at third base, the two-time All-Star is moving back to second, where he began the season, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone told the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast on Tuesday. Advertisement That change starts Tuesday night as the Yankees host the Seattle Mariners in the opener of a three-game series. "He's playing second tonight," Boone said of Chisholm, who has been dealing with right-shoulder soreness when throwing recently. Boone added, when asked on "Talkin' Yanks" if that will be where Chisholm plays going forward: "Yeah, I think so. We'll continue to work through it. Again, depending on all the moving parts and things that could possibly happen, but I think right now I want to move him back over there." Boone said that utility man Oswald Peraza will play third Tuesday against the Mariners, but the eighth-year Yankees manager described his approach to third base as "fluid." Advertisement While Chisholm has been playing third, veteran DJ LeMahieu has served as the team's primary second baseman upon returning from a calf injury. Chisholm was named an infield reserve for this year's All-Star Game over the weekend. He's currently slashing .245/.341/.500 with 15 home runs, 38 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 59 games. Chisholm told The Athletic earlier this month that he "only worked at second base" in his offseason drills. "Everybody knows I'm a second baseman,' Chisholm said at the time, via The Athletic. 'Of course, I want to play second base, but whatever it takes to help the team win. If that's what the team chooses, that's what I gotta do. I don't write the lineups. You feel me? Advertisement "I'm playing every day, so it's hard to be upset. Yes, I know I'm a second baseman. Yes, I know I'm better at second base, but at the end of the day, I still have to play third. I just have to deal with it." Chisholm's plus-3 outs above average in 251 innings at second base is significantly better than his minus-3 outs above average in 238 innings at third. He played third base for the Yankees last season after he was traded at the deadline by the Miami Marlins. Even though Chisholm hadn't played third before, he gave it a go while Gleyber Torres was reluctant to move from second base. Advertisement Chisholm's move to third this season happened after he was on in the injury list in May with an oblique strain. During Chisholm's absence, Yankees primary third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a season-ending ankle injury. LeMahieu, 36, is batting .266 this season with two homers and 12 RBI. Meanwhile, Peraza offers great infield versatility, having already scattered 38 starts across third (25), second (10) and shortstop (3) this season. Boone's infield change comes on the heels of New York finally snapping a six-game losing streak. The Yankees, now 49-41, no longer have control of the AL East. They're trailing the red-hot Toronto Blue Jays by 3.5 games.

Yankees Rookie of the Year scheduled to begin rehab assignment
Yankees Rookie of the Year scheduled to begin rehab assignment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed on "Talkin' Yanks" Tuesday that ace right-hander Luis Gil is finally heading out on a rehab assignment this Sunday, clearing a major hurdle in his recovery from a high-grade lat strain. Advertisement Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, hasn't pitched in a game all season after the strain sidelined him in spring training. He's since progressed through structured throwing programs with pitching coach Matt Blake saying on Sunday he was ready for his rehab assignment. Blake said that Gil was scheduled for a live batting practice on Tuesday. Boone also confirmed Gil is being built back up as a starter A return to the Yankees' rotation would then likely be right around the trade deadline. It's a boost they badly need after Clarke Schmidt went down for the year last week. The Yankees are also without 2023 Cy Young winner Gerrit Cole for the year and Ryan Yarbrough, who had filled in the fifth spot, is on the injured list with an oblique injury. Advertisement Brad Penner-Imagn Images Wednesday night, the Yankees are turning to top prospect Cam Schlittler to make a start and bolster the beleaguered rotation. Gil put together a stellar rookie season 2024, earning the American League Rookie of the Year award. In 29 starts, he posted an impressive 15–7 record with a 3.50 ERA, racking up 171 strikeouts over 151⅔ innings, and held hitters to a stingy .189 batting average. His May dominance—sweeping both AL Rookie and Pitcher of the Month honors—peaked with a franchise-record 14 strikeouts in a single game for a Yankees rookie. Gil became the first Yankees pitcher since Dave Righetti in 1981 to claim Rookie of the Year, narrowly edging Baltimore's Colton Cowser in voting Related: Yankees Manager Announces Jazz Chisholm Jr. News Before Mariners Series Related: Yankees' Top Pitching Prospect to Make MLB Debut Tomorrow vs Mariners This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.
