According to multiple reports, New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner is keen to retain general manager Brian Cashman and club skipper Aaron Boone in their respective posts.
Cashman is in the final year of his contract and it is widely speculated that he will be re-signed. This means Boone, who just finished the first year of his three-year contract, is set to remain with the team as well.
It was also reported that Steinbrenner won't be swayed unless there is a massive uproar amongst New York Yankees fans.
Upon seeing the news that both Cashman and Boone could remain with the club, a significant portion of the Yankees fanbase expressed their disappointment.

One fan tweeted:
"This is insane. So incredibly unfair to the fanbase. Could have lived with Cashman. Not Boone."
Another wrote:
"The definition of insanity."
Here are all the reactions:
A majority of New York Yankees fans think retaining Cashman and Boone is deplorable and voiced their frustration in hopes of being heard by the ownership.
Nothing has been finalized at the moment. However, with multiple outlets reporting on the issue, it could just be a matter of time before the news is confirmed, much to the chagrin of most Yankees fans.
Brian Cashman's tenure with the New York Yankees
It's been 36 years since Brian Cashman landed a job with the New York Yankees.
Starting off as an intern in 1986, Cashman worked his way up the ranks and was named assistant general manager six years later. He took over the post after the suspension of George Steinbrenner.
Since 1998, Cashman has held both the general manager and vice-presidential roles within the organization. He has been a part of four World Series title-winning teams. As a Yankees executive, the 55-year-old is yet to see a season where his team has ended with a losing record.
However, with one of the biggest budgets and payrolls in the league, New York Yankees fans have called for a change in leadership and the firing of Cashman. It has been 13 years since the Bronx Bombers won a World Series title, which has been a major reason for their protests.
With the amount of money being spent on big names, Yankees fans are tired of disappointment and early postseason exits on a yearly basis.
