Aaron Hicks hasn't gotten a lot of playing time this season for the New York Yankees. The outfielder struggled mightily last season. This season, Oswaldo Cabrera, who's primarily a shortstop, has started more games in the outfield than Hicks.Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who, like Hicks, struggled last season, is even getting some playing time in the outfield. During Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels, IKF made two spectacular diving catches in center field.Jomboy@Jomboy_Did IKF just officially DFA hicks?89242Did IKF just officially DFA hicks?IKF's play in the outfield has one of the Yankees' most prominent fans questioning Hicks' future with the team. Jomboy asked if those two diving catches sealed Hicks' fate in being designated for assignment.While Hicks primarily plays left field, IKF is showing that he can handle the outfield if need be. IKF's ability to play multiple positions makes him more valuable on the roster than somebody like Hicks."IKF > Hicks," one fan tweeted.Diego Ortiz@Diego_Ortiz9@Jomboy_ IKF > Hicks.@Jomboy_ IKF > Hicks."IKF certified Gold Glove 3B and CF you mean?" another fan tweeted.Yankees 2023 WS Champs@ColeWRLD45@Jomboy_ IKF certified Gold Glove 3B and CF you mean?@Jomboy_ IKF certified Gold Glove 3B and CF you mean?Brian Marcinczyk@BMarcinczyk@Jomboy_ That would be great@Jomboy_ That would be greatMarcos Benitez@MarcosB81772822@Jomboy_ If that's the case, then TY IKF.@Jomboy_ If that's the case, then TY IKF.This is something New York Yankees fans had asked the team before the season started. They're more than ready to see the team DFA Aaron Hicks.Nick Altieri@NickAltieri6@Jomboy_ Let’s hope@Jomboy_ Let’s hopeJonah Tuckman@jonahtuckman@Jomboy_ Hahahahaha the immediate correct reaction@Jomboy_ Hahahahaha the immediate correct reactionGavin🗽💤@GavinDundon3@Jomboy_ CHILL1@Jomboy_ CHILL😭😭😭Mateo@Michael_Mateo09@Jomboy_ Yes@Jomboy_ YesJason Hartelius@jasonharteliusOpened this app to tweet these exact words. twitter.com/jomboy_/status…Jomboy@Jomboy_Did IKF just officially DFA hicks?100042Did IKF just officially DFA hicks?Opened this app to tweet these exact words. twitter.com/jomboy_/status…The only thing standing in IKF's way is his batting. He's hitting a lowly .115 on the season heading into Thursday's game.Is it time for the New York Yankees to move on from Aaron Hicks?Minnesota Twins v New York YankeesWhile Aaron Hicks wasn't great in 2022, he's starting off 2023 just as badly. He has three hits in 27 plate appearances. In the game against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday, he went 0-3 with three strikeouts.It's hard not to compare this situation to Joey Gallo, who struggled in New York. Now a member of the Twins, he has seemingly gotten back on track at the plate, hitting .269 with four homers on the year.It's likely that Hicks doesn't perform well with all the pressure surrounding playing in the Bronx. Manager Aaron Boone has mentioned that Hicks hears the boos and believes that he takes them to heart.The problem with trying to part ways with Hicks is that the New York Yankees are still on the hook for $30 million. He's signed with the team until 2025, and it's unlikely any team will be willing to pick up his contract.The Yankees may have to take a page out of the Arizona Diamondbacks' playbook and DFA Aaron Hicks as they did with Madison Bumgarner. While it hurts to eat that much money, keeping somebody on your roster who can't help the team hurts more.
