Aaron Hicks unsure about future with Yankees: 'It's not really my call'
The New York Yankees will welcome outfielder Harrison Bader to their active rost
er in the coming days for the first time since obtaining him in a deadline trade
with the St. Louis Cardinals. (Bader has been on the injured list since June be
cause of plantar fasciitis.) Bader's addition will likely signal a reduced role
for Aaron Hicks, and that reality has Hicks lamenting his situation -- and, perh
aps more importantly, wondering about his future with the organization.

終於要歸隊了，而這也代表Aaron Hicks的出賽機會可能會被擠壓到
"I expect [Bader] to come in and start playing every day, as he should," Hicks t
old Dan Martin of the New York Post on Saturday. "He got traded here to help us
win. We need him to be himself to win a World Series. When I get opportunities,
I'll try to make the most of them, but it's extremely hard when I play a game an
d then I'm off for three days and now there's another outfielder out there."
Aaron Hicks告訴紐約郵報記者Dan Martin說
他預期Bader將會每天都會上場比賽
但也提到說當自己打一天比賽，接著三天沒上對他來說很艱難
而現在又有新的外野手加進來惹
Hicks, who will celebrate his 33rd birthday in October, has authored a second co
nsecutive rough season. Dating back to last year, he's batted .209/.319/.307 (79
OPS+) with 10 home runs in his last 541 plate appearances. His contributions ha
ve been worth an estimated 0.6 Wins Above Replacement, per Baseball Reference.
十月滿33歲的Hicks，本季繳出 .209/.319/.307的打擊三圍(OPS+79、十轟)
勝場貢獻值（Wins Above Replacement）為0.6
When Hicks was asked if he might benefit from a change of scenery, he offered th
e following answer: "I don't know. The Yankees are gonna have to make a decision
and I'll wait for whatever happens. It's not really my call." He also cited Joe
y Gallo's improved play with the Los Angeles Dodgers, curiously crediting manage
r Dave Roberts' ability to get the most from his players.
被問到是否改變環境對他會有幫助
Hicks則回答他不知道，但也舉了Gallo到躲人打更好的這例子
並說這是球團需要作決定的事情
For whatever it's worth, the Yankees don't have much of a call to make, either.
Hicks is guaranteed $30.5 million through the 2025 season. It seems unlikely tha
t teams will be lining up to trade for Hicks based on his contract, his recent p
lay, and his advanced age. The Yankees could, in theory, retain some of his mone
y to facilitate a deal; they could also release him and eat the entirety of what
remains on his contract. It's unclear if either possibility will be on the tabl
e this offseason, however.
Hicks, then, may have no choice other than to play better or get accustomed to a
reduced role.
他和洋基合約還剩下30.5M尚未走完
2023 $10,500,000
2024 $9,500,000
2025 $9,500,000
2026 $12,500,000(1M買斷)
當然如果最後一年洋基撿的話，會是41.5M
