Weekend BP: Thoughts on the Hicks signing?

Yesterday, it was reported that the San Francisco Giants were in agreement with Jordan Hicks on a four-year, $44 million deal.
It was a bit of an unexpected signing, with the Giants reportedly planning to have Hicks join the rotation as a starter, despite primarily having pitched in relief for the majority of his career.
As Brady pointed out in his post about it yesterday (linked above) Hicks began his career as a starter, and briefly had a return to that role in 2022 that did not go well.
But clearly the Giants are confident enough that they can convert him successfully, given the contract they’ve reportedly agreed to.
