Royals Sign Rich Hill, Eye Trade Deadline Moves

News summary

The Kansas City Royals have signed 45-year-old left-hander Rich Hill to a minor league contract, potentially making him the 14th MLB team of his career and tying Edwin Jackson's league record. Hill, who has a career 4.01 ERA and over 1,400 strikeouts in 386 games, recently pitched for Team USA in the Premier12 tournament. The Royals, who currently hold a Wild Card spot after a strong turnaround, aim to add Hill's experience to their pitching depth. In addition to Hill's signing, the team is seeking to acquire a corner outfield bat at the trade deadline and may pursue more pitching, such as Tampa Bay's Zack Littell. Hill's addition could be both a practical move for pitching depth and a nod to baseball history. The Royals remain active in seeking upgrades to strengthen their playoff chances.
