Yankees manager Aaron Boone bothered a little by criticism of defense after World Series meltdown

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Yankees manager Aaron Boone is bothered a little by criticism of his team’s defense from Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly and defended New York’s fielding following a World Series of mistakes and mental errors. “If you go back and look at the storyline throughout the season, I felt like there were a lot of times that we were winning games because of whether it was a big defensive play, whether it was small ball on a given day.” Boone spoke during a Zoom news conference, three days after the Yankees exercised his 2025 option. “I want him in pinstripes moving forward,” Boone said, ”but you also know there’s going to be a lot of people competing for that and who knows where it ends up? All I know is that we’ll try and put our best foot forward with it and hope that Juan’s back.” Boone anticipates New York will be interested in 23-year-old Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki, who will be posted and made available for bidding this offseason.
