After years of erratic performance, the New York Yankees finally took the tough call of designating outfielder Aaron Hicks for assignment.
At the age of 33, Hicks had just come off the 2022 season where he posted a .216 batting average with a .330 on-base percentage over 130 games.
In the past five years, Hicks has only managed to play over 59 games once, exhibiting a notable increase in strikeout rate and failing to replicate the power he demonstrated back in 2018.
