So, I got curious the other day about what Aaron Boone pulls in as the Yankees manager. You hear about player salaries all the time, right? But the manager’s pay? Not so much.
Fired up my computer, naturally. Went to my go-to search engine. Started simple, just typed in “Aaron Boone salary”.
Okay, first wave of results. Lots of sports news sites, fan blogs, discussion forums. Clicked through a few of the top ones. Seeing a lot of chatter, especially around when he got his contract extension back after the 2021 season. Remember that? It was a three-year deal with a club option for 2025.
The Problem: Finding the Actual Number
Here’s where it got a bit fuzzy. Found plenty of articles talking about the contract, the length, the team option. But the specific dollar amount? Way harder to find. It’s not like player contracts which are usually reported pretty widely.
Saw some places throwing out estimates. Some said maybe in the $3 million range per year, others maybe higher, closer to $4 million or even more. But they were always phrased like “estimated” or “believed to be around”. Nothing concrete.
Tried changing my search terms. Went for things like:
- “Aaron Boone contract details”
- “Yankees manager salary Boone”
- “Aaron Boone extension financial terms”
Still pretty much the same deal. Lots of speculation, but no official number confirmed by the Yankees or a major reliable source like you see with player deals. Checked some reputable sports business reporters’ pages too, sometimes they get scoops, but nothing solid popped up for Boone’s exact salary figure.
What I Gathered
Okay, so after poking around for a while, here’s what I walked away with:
- He got a contract extension after the 2021 season.
- It was reported as a three-year deal covering 2022, 2023, and 2024.
- There’s a team option for the 2025 season.
- The exact annual salary isn’t publicly disclosed or widely reported. Unlike player salaries.
- Estimates generally put it in the low-to-mid single-digit millions per year, maybe $3-$4 million, but that’s just guesswork based on what other managers might make.
So yeah, couldn’t find a definitive answer. It seems like manager salaries, unlike player salaries, are often kept private by the teams. You know it’s gotta be good money to manage the Yankees, but the precise number remains elusive. Frustrating when you just want a straight answer, you know? But that’s how it goes sometimes. Just wanted to share what I found, or rather, what I didn’t find definitively.
