Moments after the Yankees were eliminated from the ALDS last Wednesday, “Fire Boone” chants echoed in the Bronx.

Several days have gone by now, and those fans haven’t had their wish granted. There’s plenty of reason to think that won’t happen with Aaron Boone under contract for 2027, though neither Brian Cashman nor Hal Steinbrenner have commented on the matter since the Rays swept the Yankees out of the playoffs.

While all the focus has been on Boone following the Bombers’ latest early exit — he is ringless after nine seasons at the helm — other members of the Yankees’ coaching staff are on expiring deals. That includes pitching coach Matt Blake and director of catching Tanner Swanson, two impending free agents the team would be wise to retain after exercising club options on them last offseason.

Blake said he “briefly” spoke to the organization about his future at the end of the regular season. There’s mutual interest in him continuing in a job that he’s held since 2019.

Blake did say that he may want to transition to a role that takes him out of the dugout “at some point,” as he has a young kid at home. For now, however, he’s happy with the role he’s been in.

“This is a great place to work and a great opportunity, so I’ve enjoyed it,” said Blake, who previously worked in Cleveland’s organization. “There’s probably a rebalancing of time at some point, whether it’s off the field in some capacity or going back to the front office. But right now, I’m focused on still doing this job.”

Blake, along with assistants Preston Claiborne and Desi Druschel, did some of his best work in 2026, as the Yankees’ pitching staff led all of baseball with a 3.24 ERA despite being without Gerrit Cole, Max Fried and Carlos Rodón for extended stretches. Cam Schlittler, fresh off his first full season, is going to be named the American League Cy Young, and Brent Headrick and Paul Blackburn blossomed into high-leverage relievers.

Swanson, who focuses on what Yankees catchers do behind the plate, gets some credit for that staff ERA, too, as Austin Wells was one of the better defensive backstops in baseball this season. The Yankees’ primary receiver, Wells ranked fourth in framing, seventh in blocking and third in successful ABS challenges. He also continued to earn rave reviews from pinstriped pitchers.

Like Blake, Swanson is happy in his role, which also includes the title of field coordinator.

“I’m definitely not eager to leave,” said Swanson, who joined the Yankees in 2020. “I love this organization.”

That said, Swanson received some interest as a bench coach last offseason, and the Seattle native’s hometown Mariners are now in need of a new coaching staff and manager after Dan Wilson was fired. Could Swanson be a fit for a promotion out west?

The Yankees’ bench coach, Brad Ausmus, is on an expiring deal as well.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Yankees make some changes to their staff after another early playoff exit and public calls for new voices. Last year, they moved on from longtime bullpen coach Mike Harkey, infield/first base coach Travis Chapman and assistant hitting coach Pat Roessler.

Now the Yankees’ hitting consortium is drawing some criticism after hitting coach James Rowson, as well as assistants Casey Dykes and Jake Hirst, didn’t get consistent results from a bruised and battered offense. Ben Rice was the only member of the Yankees’ Opening Day lineup who avoided the injured list, and the lineup especially struggled without Aaron Judge, who missed 99 days with a fractured rib and then the postseason with a calf strain.

While there’s no replacing the back-to-back MVP, the Yankees had one of the worst offenses in baseball while Judge was out with the rib injury, and just about all of their returning hitters not named Rice regressed in 2026.

The team only scored five times in the ALDS. Rice drove in three of those runs.

There’s also third base/outfield coach Luis Rojas, whose decisions at the hot corner were occasionally criticized. Meanwhile, young Yankees outfielders, namely Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones, seemed to take steps backwards as defenders.

That said, Cody Bellinger cemented himself as baseball’s best defensive left fielder in 2026 with help from Rojas.
