Aaron Hicks' downfall over the past three seasons has been tough to watch, ChrisKirschner writes. Some people may not feel sorry for the Yankees OF because he still has nearly $30 million left on his contract. But he’s still human.
Outside their walls, Hicks was a lightning rod for the fan base. Last September, after a couple of brutal defensive miscues in a game against Tampa, fans chanted “” at him, in reference to the Yankees’ former outfielder who did not pan out and was ultimately traded. Gallo said on multiple occasions how the fan vitriol got to him so much that he felt trapped and he couldn’t leave his New York City apartment.
Hicks was clearly struggling with the reality that he was no longer the player he once was, and he felt terrible that he couldn’t produce for an organization he loved being a part of. Maybe a fresh start elsewhere could help him rediscover what he’s been searching for over the past few years. It was clear that he wasn’t going to find it in New York.. “I know he wants it. I know how hard it is to go through all of this. If he wasn’t putting in the work, I might feel a different way about it.
