Boone has been called out by Yankee fans for years on his managerial mistakes. An extension would not solve those

After outfielder Aaron Judge took heat for revealing he hadn’t spoken to Soto at all to try to recruit him back to the Yankees in free agency, Boone was asked the same question on WFAN.

For four seasons, no one was closer to Yankees manager Aaron Boone. As the Yankees' bench coach, Carlos Mendoza was always at Boone's side, helping him make tough decisions. They developed a close friendship that has survived Mendoza's move across town to become the manager of the rival New York Mets.
