Chris Russo Eviscerates Aaron Boone as Yankees’ Collapse Deepens originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Congratulations are in order for New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone, who managed to turn Chris “Mad Dog” Russo into a furious canine.

The New York Yankees have one of the better rosters in baseball, but they're struggling to stay afloat in the American League.

And now, everyone is talking about the possibility that Aaron Boone is replaced before or after the season. Many have floated out potential options as the Yankees next manager, but one name seems to stick out more than others.

The New York Yankees are clinging to the third and final AL Wild Card spot, as they are just 1.5 games ahead of the Cleveland Guardians and Texas Rangers. They have a chance to give themselves more cushion when they host the Houston Astros for a three-game set at Yankee Stadium this weekend.

After the Yankees had a huge trade deadline acquiring all-star arms, the club has released JT Brubaker after he was DFA's earlier in the week.
