The former Yankees outfielder is staying in the AL East.
Aaron Hicks is staying in the AL East.
He is on the hunt for a more prominent role and Hicks may earn one with Baltimore, where All-Star center fielder Cedric Mullins is out with a right abductor/groin strain suffered during the eighth inning against the Guardians on Monday, which ended in a 5-0 Orioles loss. After a few lackluster seasons in The Bronx, which included a .188 average and .524 OPS in 28 games this season, the Yankees threw in the towel on Hicks after seven-plus years.
As a result, he was given a seven-year deal before the 2019 offseason, but over the past four seasons Hicks has slashed .212/.331/.334.“I hope what doesn’t get lost is a couple of really good seasons that he had here,” manager Aaron Boone said on Friday when Hicks was released. “Had some good postseason moments here. And then some injuries really impacted his time here, probably impacted his career and his ability to get back to that level.
