When the New York Yankees picked up reliever Tim Hill midway through the 2024 campaign while he was flailing with the Chicago White Sox, it seemed like a low point of his MLB career.

2026 will mark Hill's third consecutive season with the Yankees after New York picked up his no-brainer option, a drama-free offseason compared to what they made fans go through last winter.
