The Tampa Bay Rays are close to signing veteran southpaw Rich Hill, pending a physical.
Rich Hill signed with the Minnesota Twins for the pandemic afflicted 2020 campaign, but pitched in just eight games after dealing left shoulder fatigue early on. When he did take the mound, Hill was effective as he finished the year with a 3.03 ERA and 3.99 FIP over 38 2⁄3 innings pitched.
The soon-to-be 41-year old Hill joins the Rays staff as the oldest player on the team, as well as the player with the most big league experience.
