January 29, 2025 – New York, NY — New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone addressed the media today, providing insight into the team’s offseason moves and expectations for the upcoming 2025 MLB season. With the team focused on regaining its dominance after a challenging 2024 season, Boone emphasized the importance of team chemistry, health, and maintaining a competitive edge.
“We’ve made some key additions this offseason, and I’m really excited about the depth we’ve built,” Boone said. “It’s not just about individual talent—it’s about creating a unit that plays together and feeds off each other.”
The Yankees have added a few key free agents and made trades to strengthen both their pitching staff and lineup. Boone mentioned that the newly acquired starting pitcher, who brings a mix of experience and youth, will play a crucial role in the rotation alongside ace Gerrit Cole.
On the offensive side, Boone is particularly hopeful that star slugger Aaron Judge stays healthy and continues to provide the power the Yankees are known for. “Judge is the heart of this team. If he’s healthy, we all know what he can do,” Boone said, also highlighting other players like Anthony Rizzo and Gleyber Torres who are poised for bounce-back seasons.
Boone also acknowledged the pressure that comes with managing the Yankees, a team with a rich history and high expectations. “The fans are passionate, and that’s something I love about this job. We’re all working hard to bring a championship back to the Bronx.”
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Boone expressed optimism but stressed the need for consistency. “We can’t afford any slip-ups in a division as competitive as the AL East. Every game counts, and we need to be ready from day one.”
The Yankees’ first spring training game is just around the corner, and with high hopes for a return to glory, fans are eager to see how the team will perform under Boone’s leadership in the coming months
