Last week, Minnesota Twins offseason acquisition Rich Hill said if the MLB season gets underway in early July, he would be ready.
When Rich Hill, who turned 40 in March, had elbow surgery last October, he was hoping to continue his 15-year MLB career, not end it. At the time of the surgery, Hill was about to become a free agent, and teams (the Minnesota Twins included) knew that signing Hill would be out until at least June with the recovery.
With June just a little over a week away, and Major League Baseball teams still not back in action, the chances of Hill not missing any games improves by the day.
