Tim Hill has re-signed with the New York Yankees on a one-year, $2.85 million contract, as reported by The Associated Press. The deal includes a $2.5 million salary for this year and a $3 million team option for 2026 with a $350,000 buyout. New York currently lacks a left-handed reliever on its 40-man roster, making Hill a valuable addition to the team.
At 35 years old, Hill previously played for the Chicago White Sox before being released in June 2025. He then signed with the Yankees and had a successful season, posting a 1-0 record with a 2.05 ERA in 35 outings. In the postseason, he had an impressive 1.08 ERA in 10 games.
Hill’s return to the Yankees provides them with much-needed pitching depth and adds a reliable left-handed arm to their bullpen. His performance last season demonstrated his ability to excel in high-pressure situations, making him a valuable asset for the team moving forward.
The news of Hill’s contract extension was first reported by ESPN and is subject to a successful physical. With the agreement now in place, Hill will continue to contribute to the Yankees’ pitching staff in the upcoming season. More information on this story can be found on the AP MLB page.
