, traded to his 13th team yesterday at 43 years young, has no intention of making the Padres the final stop in his baseball career. The left-hander tells MLB.coms Justice de los Santos that he has all intentions of playing in what would be his 20th Major League season in 2024 ( ). Hills age-35 comeback season with the Red Sox was remarkable on its own way back in 2015. At that point, the suggestion that Hill would still be pitching in 2023 with his sights set on continuing into 2024 wouldve sounded like utter lunacy. Hed pitched in just 153 innings in the seven seasons from 2008-14, compiling a 5.41 ERA and regularly being bounced off rosters and pa sed through waivers. His 1.55 ERA in four late-season starts with Boston in 2015 was a fun story, but the manner in which the next decade unfolded has been completely unforeseeable. That 29-inning sample with the Red Sox prompted the As to sign Hill for a year and $6MM, and he went on to dominate with Oakland to the point that the Dodgers pounced to acquire him and for a trio of then-prospects: , and . Hill re-signed in Los Angeles on three-year, $48MM deal that seemed surreal at the time, given where hed been just a couple years prior. Hes steadily slowed Willi Castro Jersey from an upper-tier starting pitcher to a cagey innings eater in the years since, pitching to a 3.00 ERA with a 29% strikeout rate from 2016-19 but a 4.15 ERA and 21% strikeout rate in 440 2/3 innings dating back to 2020. That includes a 4.76 ERA, 19.6% strikeout rate and 8.9% walk rate in 119 frames with the Pirates this year. Hill will step into the back of the Padres rotation and help provide stable innings behind , and . Righty is quickly approaching his career-high innings count after moving from a relief role to a starting role this year, and while hes pitched quite well to date, its unclear how hell fare as his workload moves into uncharted territory. Hills steady, if unspectacular innings, could prove important as the Padres hope for a second-half surge thatll push them back into the playoff picture. How Hill fares in the seasons final two months will impact his earning power in free agency. Its hard to imagine anyone inking him to a multi-year deal regardle s, given his age, but his performance in San Diego will play a large role in dictating the type of guarantee he can command on another one-year pact. Yesterdays trade to the Padres was notable in that theyll be Hills 13th Major League team tying him for the second-most franchises appeared for by any player. holds that oddball record at 14. Hill will have a chance to tie him this offseason and perhaps even surpa s him next year, if hes traded during the 2024 campaign. Austin Martin Jersey Click here Click here Click here
