A new chapter in sibling rivalries begins as Yankees manager Aaron Boone faces his brother Bret Boone, the new hitting coach for the Texas Rangers, marking their first matchup on a baseball field since 2005, now as coaches instead of players. Meanwhile, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge boasts a league-best .401 batting average, drawing parallels to Paul O'Neill's historic start in 1998. On another note, Tyler Matzek has opted for free agency after being designated for assignment by the Yankees, indicating the competitive nature of roster management in MLB.
This will represent the first time the two brothers share a baseball field since 2005, and the first time that they do so not as players, but as coaches.
Although Judge's pace is impressive, O'Neill believes that the experience from last season's chase for Maris' record will help Judge handle the pressure better.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone takes on his brother Bret Boone, who was hired as the Texas Rangers' hitting coach earlier this month.
Left-handed pitchers arenât exactly a dime a dozen, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see another team take a swing on Tyler Matzek.
