Moving out of the New York Yankees, Aaron Hicks has found his footing. After being associated with the Bronx for 8 years, Hicks was let go. The Yankees’ decision to move this 34-year-old out was backed by evident sub-par performances and injury-stained stints. But after stripping out of the pinstripes, another team is reaping the fruit of this transformed Yankees flop. 

As someone who faced the heat of the brutal Yankees fans more often than not, Hicks is redefining his reputation. While the fans are astounded that players moving out of the Bronx are performing well, one can’t help but attribute it to the immense ‘pressure’ on players. Could it be that the fans were the reason behind ex-Pinstripes failing in the Bronx?

A Sudden Turn of Events For Aaron Hicks

Since Aaron Hicks set foot in Baltimore after the O’s lost center fielder Cedric Mullins to an injury, he has turned into an asset for them. The Orioles bagged him right when they were in dire need of a strong outfielder. Since leaving the Bronx, Hicks has displayed immense discipline at the plate, making solid contact with the ball and drawing walks. In Sunday’s game against the Texas Rangers, he hit his first home run this postseason. An achievement that reflects his innate potential that remained previously hidden. The O’s executive VP and GM revealed their intention behind this ex-Yankees’ acquisition.

In June, soon after onboarding Aaron, Mike Elias told the Baltimore Sun, “You may not get a great outcome on everything, but we see stuff with Aaron Hicks that we like and it feels like a good fit for us. I hope this is a shot in the arm for him, and I hope that he helps us out and helps us win some games”. Rightly so, the O’s are reaping the fruits as the Yankees fans are stunned, giving birth to some questionable theories.
