Aaron Boone Speaks on Yankees Bullpen
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone addressed the state of his bullpen this week, offering insight into one of the most talked-about areas of the roster. With the postseason push intensifying, Boone emphasized both the challenges and confidence he has in his relievers.
“Our bullpen has been asked to do a lot, and I think they’ve handled it well,” Boone said. “We’ve dealt with some injuries and ups and downs, but overall, I believe this group has the ability to lock games down when it matters most.”
The Yankees have leaned heavily on their relief corps throughout the season, with certain arms stepping up in key moments. Boone praised the resilience of his pitchers, noting the contributions of veterans while also highlighting the growth of younger arms who have been thrust into high-leverage situations.
At the same time, Boone acknowledged the need for consistency. Late-game leads have occasionally slipped away, sparking frustration among fans. “We know we have to tighten things up,” Boone admitted. “Execution in big spots is what separates a good bullpen from a great one, and that’s what we’re aiming for.”
As the Yankees continue their playoff push, the bullpen remains a critical storyline. Boone’s comments suggest confidence but also underscore that improvements are still needed if the team hopes to make a deep October run.
