This was reported by the ESPN network on Tuesday. The 43-year-old left-handed gunner will evolve with a 12th career formation on the Manfred circuit. However, everything is conditional on passing physical exams.
Having started his career with the Chicago Cubs in 2005, Hill played for the Boston Red Sox in 2022 and was the second-oldest athlete in baseball, behind St. Louis Cardinals veteran Albert Pujols; his career ended at the end of his team’s playoff run.
Last season, the starter went 8-7 with a 4.27 ERA. In 124 1/3 innings, he walked 37 and had 109 strikeouts. He played 350 games in 18 years in the majors.
