Yankees re-sign Tim Hill to $2.85M deal

The New York Yankees have re-signed left-handed reliever Tim Hill to a one-year contract worth $2.85 million, which includes a club option for 2026. Hill, 34, had a remarkable turnaround after joining the Yankees midseason from the Chicago White Sox, where he struggled with a 5.87 ERA. In his time with New York, he posted a 2.05 ERA across 44 innings, becoming a key player in their bullpen and contributing significantly in the postseason with only one earned run allowed in 8.1 innings. His impressive groundball rate of 68.2% and low strikeout rate have established him as a reliable option for high-leverage situations. The Yankees, who lacked a left-handed reliever prior to this signing, view Hill as a crucial addition to their bullpen, which already includes closer Devin Williams and setup man Luke Weaver. Hill's decision to return reflects his desire to compete for a World Series title with a team he believes in.
