Just weeks after agreeing to a 4 year $40 million contract extension with ace Luis Severino ( Locking him up for 6 more years ), the Yankees have agreed to another extension with one of their players.
Aaron Hicks , who was in the last year of his original contract ( Which would make him an FA at the end of the season ), has agreed to a 7 year $70 million extension with the Yankees, locking the star Center Fielder up for at least 8 more years!
Hicks not only is know for his defense , but his patients at the plate is unbelievable, as he has become a reliable leadoff hitter in his time with the Yankees.
The Yankees now have 3 fielders who are long term guys , with Judge, Stanton and Hicks all having multi year deals!
The Yankees still have Delin Betances, Didi Gregorius, and Aroldis Chapman ( Option), all to bring back in free agency next year.
However, reports have come out , that the Yankees are working on a contract extension with Betances and Didi , so we will see what happens there!
But as for Hicks , I love the move and the extension, comes at a cheap price too!
