## Summary

The New York Yankees have agreed to bring back left-handed reliever Tim Hill, making him their first bullpen signing of the offseason. The move begins the rebuilding effort identified as a priority by general manager Brian Cashman, while the team still faces an important decision over closer David Bednar.

Hill, 36, agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.25 million, with a $2.5 million club option for 2028. He posted a 4.60 ERA in 67 appearances last season, but held left-handed batters to a .213 average and .611 OPS; across two and a half seasons with New York, his ERA is 3.34. Bednar has until Tuesday to accept or reject the Yankees’ $23.15 million qualifying offer, and Hill and Brent Headrick are currently the club’s only certain left-handers for the 2027 bullpen.
