Amid the recent struggles from Williams and the Yankees as a team, Boone gave insight into a change in how the Yankees might use Williams moving forward. Boone was on the Talkin' Yanks show on Tuesday, where he answered a question about what the plan is going forward with Williams.

The 87-year-old Sterling was the radio voice of the Yankees beginning in 1989, retiring at the conclusion of the 2024 playoffs. But he still hosts a weekly radio show on WABC in New York, and this week, he had some pointed comments to make.

Williams has struggled immensely in recent weeks and overall this season, posting a 5.73 ERA in his first year with the Yankees.
