David Stearns’s bullpen strategy is likely to be one that is hard for fans to project, with him acquiring droves of interesting-but-flawed pitchers with the idea that a Reed Garrett is among them. One potentially low-risk reliever that could yield a high reward is Tim Hill.
Tim Hill is a weird choice for this on the surface—he’s never had a truly elite season and will be 35 when the 2025 season begins. However, his performance in the Bronx makes me think that he has possibly figured something out.
Hill spent his first two seasons in Kansas City before being traded to San Diego for Franchy Cordero, spending four years there before being non-tendered before the 2024 season and signing with the White Sox.
