New York Yankees coaches Aaron Boone, Brad Ausmus, and Luis Rojas were photographed standing for the national anthem before a July 17, 2026 game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Yankee Stadium. The image, captured by Caleb Bowlin for Getty Images, accompanies a November 2, 2026 report by Michael Whitaker suggesting one member of the Yankees coaching staff is nearing a move to a rival club following the World Series.
The report does not specify which coach — Boone, who wears number 17, Ausmus (number 65), or Rojas (number 67) — is the subject of the transfer talk, nor does it identify the potential destination club. The Yankees' 2026 season included a World Series appearance, though the outcome is not detailed in the available information.
