Yankees re-sign Tim Hill to fill crucial bullpen role
NY Post
The Yankees finally have a lefty in their bullpen again, and it is the one that emerged to play a key role for them late last season.
The club and Tim Hill agreed to a one-year, $2.85 million contract on Tuesday, The Post’s Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman reported, bringing back an important late-inning arm to Aaron Boone’s relief corps.
The deal includes a $2.5 million salary for 2025 and a $3 million club option or $350,000 buyout for 2026.
The veteran Hill signed with the Yankees last June, at a time when their other lefty bullpen arms were struggling, and quickly entered Boone’s circle of trust.
The side-arming ground ball specialist pitched to a 2.05 ERA across 44 innings and 35 appearances during the regular season before allowing just one earned run in 8 ¹/₃ postseason innings.
Before reuniting with Hill — who also received interest from the Mets, among other teams — the Yankees did not have a lefty in their bullpen.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
