From Brent Maguire:
The Yankees will bring back a key member of their bullpen after agreeing to a one-year, $2.25 million deal with left-hander Tim Hill, a source told MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Sunday. The club has not confirmed.
The deal also includes a club option for 2028 worth $2.5 million.
In 58 2/3 innings for the Yankees in 2026, Hill had a 4.60 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. Compared to his previous two seasons with New York (and part of the ‘24 season with the White Sox), Hill’s ‘26 season represented a step backward. From 2024-25, Hill had a 3.22 ERA across 134 innings and was a key left-hander in New York’s bullpen.
I don’t HATE the move, but I can’t say that I particularly understand it, either.
