Aaron Boone is going to insist Josh Donaldson still has impact in his bat up until the moment the Yankees release him.
You might remember that Boone kept backing what Aaron Hicks still had inside him up to the moment that Hicks was jettisoned from the roster with about $27 million still owed the outfielder through 2025.
Boone is never going to disrespect a Yankee publicly. His players know that their manager will never embarrass them in the media. It is a core tenet of why he is respected in the clubhouse.
So ignore the words. View Boone’s actions.
