Calls Mount for Aaron Boone's Firing After Yankees' Fifth Straight Loss

One of the biggest holes in New York's bullpen this season, especially of late, has been two-time All-Star closer Devin Williams. The right-hander suffered another loss on Tuesday, his fourth of the season, surrendering two runs in the eighth inning.

Over his last four appearances, Williams has given up six earned runs. This has led to many calling for Yankees manager Aaron Boone to utilize other options in the late innings, but Williams has continued to get chances.

Yankees Fans Call for Aaron Boone's Dismissal

After Williams blew another game, this one with massive Wild Card implications, fans immediately began calling for Boone's firing.

"Fire Aaron Boone," Yankees Source wrote on X. "Lets wrap this up already and move on to some intelligent baseball."

Several fans echoed this same sentiment.

"Why would you bring Williams in again?" one asked. "Fire him! FIRE BOONE!!!!!!"

Another exclaimed, "START THE FIRE BOONE CHANTS ON FRIDAY, WE’VE REACH A BOILING POINT AND IT’S TOO MUCH!!!"

"If the Yankees want any chance at salvaging this season, which I believe they still can do, they must fire Boone tonight….. they won’t do it… they don’t care, they should’ve done it after ‘23," said another.

Yankees Pod host Jimmy Randazzo even rallied the fanbase to get behind the idea of firing Boone.

Yankees' Postseason Spot is Slipping Away

Following their fifth straight loss, the Yankees are now just a half-game up on Texas for the final AL Wild Card spot and could lose their hold on that with another loss on Wednesday. While this skid has come without AL MVP favorite Aaron Judge in the lineup, the Yankees have been unable to preserve late leads, win close games, or play fundamental baseball the last week.

After this series with Texas, the Yankees will head home for three games with the Astros.
