The Red Sox are reportedly close to bringing back a local product in 44-year-old pitcher Rich Hill.
According to WEEI’s Rob Bradford, the Red Sox are finalizing a minor-league contract with Hill, with the Milton native giving Boston some additional reinforcements for a beleaguered rotation.
According to Bradford, Hill took part in a showcase for three teams at Champion Physical Therapy and Performance in Waltham last Friday. The southpaw delivered more than 100 pitches as part of his workload.
This would stand as Hill’s fourth stint with his hometown team in the Red Sox.
