New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman indicated that he may target another outfielder this off-season in free agency. Allowing Clint Frazier to walk and rejecting the club option of Brett Gardner leaves a hole in the outfield, but it is not the reserve spot he needs to ponder, it is the starting center field spot housed by Aaron Hicks.
Hicks, who signed a seven-year, $70 million deal back in 2019, is going into the fourth season of his contract after being injured for two of the first three years. He’s set to earn a base salary of $10.
