Yankees manager Aaron Boone delivers his fiery end-of-season press conference, admitting the team was "out-executed" and "got beat" by the Blue Jays in a disappointing 2025 season. He addresses the key injuries, confirming Carlos Rodón had elbow surgery and will be delayed, while Aaron Judge avoided surgery and will remain in right field. Boone defends his decision to play Anthony Volpe through a shoulder injury, arguing it wasn't impacting his defense, and doubles down on Volpe being in the mix for the starting shortstop job next year, despite the offensive struggles. Finally, Boone discusses the difficult staff changes—including the departures of Harkey and Chapman—and acknowledges the ultimate frustration of not bringing home "Number 28."
