“We have an expectation around here to be playing next week at this time, and unfortunately, that’s not the case,” Boone said. “We’ve got to ask some tough questions, and will ask some tough questions, and try to fortify ourselves better moving forward.”

Yankees captain Aaron Judge said he believes Boone should return as manager. However, in an uncharacteristically cutting criticism, Judge stated on Sunday that he believes there is “a lot of stuff going on around here that needs to be fixed.”

Steinbrenner has said that he intends to have an outside company conduct a “deep dive” audit of the Yankees’ operations, pointing to “the analytics side of what we do” and “baseball operations in general.”

“We’re going to have some very frank conversations with each other,” Steinbrenner said. “This year was, obviously, unacceptable.”
