New York Yankees star released after rapid decline and owed $27.6m

Aaron Hicks has officially been released by the New York Yankees after spending more than eight years with the club.

Hicks was designated for assignment last week, which meant that he was immediately removed from the Yankees’ 40-man roster in Major League Baseball. Now it has been confirmed that Hicks has been released with more than two years left on his contract.

The 33-year-old had been with the Yankees since 2016 after being traded by the Minnesota Twins. Now a free agent, Hicks can be signed by a new team who wishes to pick him up, but it remains to be seen which teams could be interested at this stage.
