Rich Hill’s Remarkable Journey: Will the Royals Be His Final MLB Stop or Just Another Chapter?
Last year wasn’t exactly a banner season; Hill appeared just four times out of the Red Sox bullpen before being designated for assignment in September. Yet 2016 remains a highlight reel: a 12-5 record combined between the Athletics and Dodgers, with a stunning 2.12 ERA—a reminder that on his best days, Hill’s still a force on the mound.
HOUSTON — The Kansas City Royals are giving Rich Hill another chance to pitch in the big leagues.
The Royals signed the 45-year-old left-hander to a minor league deal Tuesday, and he will report soon to the club’s spring training facility in Surprise, Arizona. Once he gets up to speed, Hill likely will head to Triple-A Omaha and try to prove he can still help a major league ballclub with designs on contending for the postseason.
