Between Aaron Judge, Carlos Rodon, Anthony Rizzo, and Tommy Kahnle, the Yankees have spent more than $500 million this winter. Despite that, the Bronx Bombers are currently headed for Opening Day with a huge question mark in left field. According to NJ.com‘s Bob Klapisch, Aaron Hicks appears to be penciled into that spot on the diamond. For now.
It’s not like general manager Brian Cashman hasn’t tried to change that. New York has reportedly made Hicks and third baseman Josh Donaldson available via trade this offseason. So far, there have been no takers. Part of it could be that the trade market hasn’t really heated up just yet.
