The Yankees signed Boone to a two-year contract extension through the 2027 season, the team announced Thursday.

Fresh off to their first trip to the World Series since 2009, the New York Yankees have agreed to a contract extension with manager Aaron Boone, the team announced Thursday. The team picked up Boone's club option early in the offseason and his contract was set to expire after 2025.
