The New York Yankees find themselves in a tough position after their left field position battle failed to deliver the desired results this season. Initially, Oswaldo Cabrera and Aaron Hicks were set to vie for the starting position, but both fell short of expectations and were eventually ousted from the team.
Transitioning from Cabrera and Hicks
Hicks found a new home with the Baltimore Orioles after his release a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, Cabrera oscillated between Triple-A and the major leagues, stepping in primarily during injury bouts.
