Aaron Hicks Will play all over outfield
Hicks said Tuesday that he expects to play all three outfield spots while occasionally serving as the Angels' DH, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Hicks has been used primarily as a center fielder throughout his career, but last season saw him play all three outfield positions for the first time since 2017. Hicks added that he is preparing to play every day, although that doesn't necessarily mean he will be a regular part of Los Angeles' lineup. The 34-year-old slashed .349/.446/.524 in 74 plate appearances versus southpaws last season, so he figures to at least crack the starting nine against left-handers.
Aaron Hicks Signs MLB deal with Angels
Hicks signed a one-year contract with the Angels on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: The Angels will pay Hicks the minimum salary, with the Yankees still on the hook for the rest of the nearly $10 million he's owed in 2024. Hicks rebounded nicely with the Orioles last season after the Yanks cut him loose, putting up an .806 OPS with seven homers and six steals over 65 games with Baltimore. The 34-year-old wouldn't appear to have a clear path to a starting job with the Angels, but the club can't necessarily count on Mike Trout staying healthy or Mickey Moniak repeating his 2023 performance, so Hicks could wind up playing plenty.
