Let’s stop Yankees fans in their tracks: there is a better chance that the Yankees retire the pinstripes and move to Siberia than there is that they’d hire Alex Rodríguez to replace Aaron Boone.

Boone also opted against benching Austin Wells when he cost the Yankees an out in a recent game by forgetting the outs. He didn’t bench rookie Jorbit Vivas for not sliding into third base when he was out tagging up from second on a long flyball in Atlanta right after the All-Star break.

The New York Yankees have lost five straight games and dropped to 60-54 on the season, yet manager Aaron Boone remains confident in his team.
