Aaron Hicks had a solid season in 2018 and was thought to have finally proven to be an asset for the New York Yankees, but after that season it's been all downhill. It wouldn't have been a bad contract if Hicks was an "average hitter", but he's gotten worse at the plate every year after 2018.

As for Ellsbury... His signing was a head scratcher even before the ink on his 157 million dollar contract dried.
