All signs are pointing to Aaron Hicks being the Yankees’ Opening Day left fielder. That is, unless general manager Brian Cashman makes a deal soon.
“I suspect he will be the guy that emerges, because he’s still really talented, and everything’s there,” Cashman said during a recent radio appearance. “Hopefully, we get the Aaron Hicks that we know is in there back as a consistent player for us.”
This isn’t a surprise, nor the outrage #YankeesTwitter is making it. Yes, Hicks hasn’t had a productive season since he broke out with aid of juiced baseballs in 2018.
