Aaron Boone Answers Trivia Questions About the Outfielders

Talkin Yanks shared a clip on Twitter, in which the skipper had his words on the outfield struggles so far. The entire conversation started with the question from Jomboy if the front office is listening or not. He then questioned Boone about the exact number of left fielders used by him since 2021. Though Boone had a fair answer, but was seven short of 20.
