Sources: Reliever Hill, Yankees agree to $2.25M contract
Left-hander Tim Hill is staying with the New York Yankees, agreeing to a one-year, $2.25 million contract, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Sunday.
Hill's deal includes a $2.5 million club option for 2028, sources said.
A 36-year-old reliever, Hill was 5-2 with a 4.60 ERA and two saves in 58⅔ innings over 67 appearances last season. He allowed a career-high 12 homers, three more than his previous high.
Hill's 68.8% ground ball percentage led the major leagues among pitchers with 50 or more innings. He held left-handed batters to a .213 batting average while righties hit .293 against him.
