Breaking - Yankees Release Aaron Hicks

I was in a SABR meeting with the Lexington, Kentucky chapter when Mike Whiteman shared the news...


Former Yankee Greg Allen, just acquired from the Red Sox, takes Hicks' place.


Quick Thoughts - I always feel badly for the player when this happens. It must be the worst feeling ever.


Aaron Hicks, though, was a shell of the player he had been. He did not seem to be happy as a Yankee. His hitting was bad. His defense not good.


If the Yankees are looking to win a championship, there are better players, including, probably, Greg Allen. This move was a long time in coming.


Hicks can now catch on with another team and try to get his career on track away from the bright lights on NYC. This was, for the Yankees, and for Hicks, the right move. It was a long time coming.


I give the Yankees a lot of credit for their willingness to eat the rest of the contract (for the most part) and put winning (getting the best team on the field) above payroll, luxury tax caps, and the like.


(By the way, #30 was worn by Mel Stottlemyre and Willie Randolph. For the Yankees, who love retiring numbers, how is that not retired?)

I actually felt bad for Hicks, but it was past time for this to happen. Now if they DFA Donaldson when he's ready to come off the IL, I'll give the Yanks proper credit.

Donaldson should be DFA'd. I heard he lacerated his hand at home which extends his stay on the IL. The Yankees absolutely do not need him.

The nightmare for the Yankees and Aaron Hicks is over! Yankees never got value on his extension contract for the last 4yrs. Enuf said!

Never was a fan. Thought the contract was a huge mistake. Should have happened a while ago.

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
