The day has come. After three-plus years of struggling in pinstripes, the Yankees have designated outfielder Aaron Hicks for assignment.

The 33-year-old had over two years remaining on his seven-year, $70 million contract he signed with the club after the 2019 season. However, the club has seen enough and has parted ways with the struggling outfielder.

Hicks is slashing .188/.263/.261 with one homer in 28 games played this season.

The switch-hitter was the corresponding move to outfielder Greg Allen being added to the roster after they acquired him from the Boston Red Sox.

Now, Hicks will try to follow in the footsteps of Joey Gallo (.892 OPS with the Twins this season) — another outfielder who was showered with boos during his time in the Bronx — in trying to resurrect his career away from the bright lights of Yankee Stadium
