Aaron Hicks received a $70 million dollar extension from the Yankees:
Hicks, who received a $2 million signing bonus to go with the $6 million he was already set to make this year, gets $10.5 million from 2020 to 2023 and $9.5 million in 2024 and 2025. There is a $12.5 million club option for 2026 and a $1 million buyout. Hicks doesn’t have a no-trade clause, but if dealt he would collect $1 million.

Hicks might well earn that money in the first three or four years if he continues to play well. I wonder if the Yankees are basically paying for that, but spreading the money out over a longer period to keep their overall salary level down. Hicks isn’t a good player in the traditional sense, with a rather low batting average. He does a good job of getting on base and hitting for power, and it’s good to see those accomplishments recognized.
