Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticizes Yankees management after ALDS exit

U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed disappointment over the New York Yankees' decision to retain manager Aaron Boone following the team's abrupt exit from the 2026 American League Division Series. The Yankees were swept 3-0 by the Tampa Bay Rays and failed to lead in any of the series’ 27 innings. In light of Jorge Posada's comments about feeling unvalued by the organization, Ocasio-Cortez highlighted the need for the Yankees to reconnect with former players and restore the franchise's culture of excellence. Boone addressed the media post-elimination but did not confirm his future with the team. The Yankees completed their postseason with a.238 batting average, 38 hits, and six home runs.
