A day after bringing on Martín Maldonado on to lead a veteran catching corps, Chris Getz continued to tinker with the edges of his inaugural roster on Thursday, agreeing to a one-year, $1.8 million dollar contract with free agent lefthander Tim Hill, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The soon-to-be-34-year-old Hill was non-tendered by the Padres last month after posting a career-worst 5.48 ERA in 48 appearances (44 1⁄3 IP) in 2023. He has a 4.16 mark across 320 appearances in six big league seasons — the first two of which he spent in Kansas City before moving to San Diego in exchange for Franchy Cordero in 2020.
