3 Aaron Hicks landing spots for Yankees fans to laugh at

Potential Aaron Hicks landing spot: Minnesota Twins

Let’s look at the revenge angle for just a minute here. We’ve profiled two National League teams for our first two landing spots. What about an American League squad that the Yankees could well see in the postseason (sure, we’re asking a lot here, but stick with us on this) in the Minnesota Twins?

Joey Gallo has been reviving his career in the Twin Cities, so could another former Yankees outfielder who was vilified in the Bronx do the same? It’s possible for Hicks, who might slot in nicely in center field, an area where the Twins are hoping to minimize the chance for injury to Byron Buxton by penciling him in as designated hitter when they can. However, even with Buxton patrolling center field, the Twins are tied for next-to-last among all MLB clubs in center field bWAR at minus-0.4.

Minnesota doesn’t have a positive bWAR at any of the three outfield positions, meaning a rejuvenated Hicks could potentially help in left or center. There are also injury concerns in Minnesota with the outfield outside of the potential for Buxton, including Max Kepler and Nick Gordon landing on the injured list, slicing into Minnesota’s depth.
