Cashman says the team is close to deciding on the next Manager, and he will be selecting 1 from the 6 already interviewed.
In the meantime, Philly has announced that Rob Thomason will be announced as their Bench Coach next week (so I guess Cashman will actually be selecting from 5 of the 6 interviewed)
I know, shame on the Beer Man for starting a Yankees thread while the Eli vs. MacAdouche cluster fuck is occurring
B/R - (

My guess/prediction at the hire is either Mueller or Boone, at this point. The entire time, I've had a weird feeling that Boone will be the guy. Just a guess/feeling.
Both admitted that it was simply their opinions as there somehow havent been any leaks. Kay was actually flabbergasted by Sherman thinking Wedge was a contender.
Haha. Mine did too.
For Muellens, it's obviously manager or bust. For the others, they could add some to the staff.
Haha indeed. With Ruben Rivera as bench coach and Brien Taylor as pitching coach
From my distant vantage point as a fan who follows the team but doesnt know any of the inner workings, I just dont see the appeal of Boone...but he must have shown a lot of the qualities Cash and company are looking for, for him to be considered so prominently
Would love if the note about Beltran joining the staff prove true, seems like a perfect mentor to a lot of the young guys coming up, and the bilingual part is a big plus

Boone is regarded as a very intelligent man that has baseball in his blood. He comes from a long list of baseball Boones. He loves the game and knows it inside and out.
I think people have allowed his stint in the television booth to cloud their judgement a bit. Who knows how good or bad he would be, but Im not surprised the Yanks are at least a bit intrigued

Yup good points
I'm definitely prepared to be wrong on this because Sherman listed him as one of his two guesses, but I think Wedge was always the safe fallback option as they interviewed a lot of inexperienced candidates, and I think to some degree, he was seen as a potential bench coach for whatever manager they decided on if it wasn't him. Of the other options, I think only Muellens would be given anything close to resembling carte blanche with regard to choosing his staff.
Great, no Wedge that guy been run out of Cleveland and Seattle.

Cannot understand Wedge at all. He doesn't fit anything Cashman outlined that he was looking for or am I mistaken? I just don't see it.

The Yankees have made their decision on a manager, two sources tell The Athletic. Its not down to Boone or Meulens; theyve chosen one of them. We just dont know who yet.

I doubt he wants it but I can see Boone in the bench coach role to get him some experience in that capacity. If he really wants to be part of the game again, he might enjoy doing that. I know the ESPN job is supposed to be cushy and all but I can't see him staying there for years and years. Especially if he wants to be a manager one day.

Aaron Boone is the Yankees' pick as the next manager. Not yet announced by the team.

No surprise. When he was 1 of the 2 it had to be him.
