Hicks Hits Grand Slam for Rays | Tampa Bay Rays News

The Tampa Bay Rays pulled off a blockbuster trade before the deadline, acquiring Liam Hicks from the Marlins in exchange for three prospects. Hicks didn’t just make an impact—he hit a grand slam in his very first at-bat, igniting a nine-to-seven win. In just 16 games, he’s slashing .292/.433/.542 with 3 homers and 10 RBIs, while walking 10 times and striking out only 5. His elite plate discipline and consistent spark behind the plate have solved Tampa Bay’s catching woes, giving their lineup a much-needed boost. Signed through 2030, Hicks is poised to be a cornerstone for years to come as the Rays lead the AL East by 3.5 games.
