Veteran pitcher Rich Hill signs 8 million dollar contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates: "Rich Hill, Pirates reportedly agree to a 1-year deal"

The Pittsburgh Pirates have added a veteran arm to their pitching staff in the form of Rich Hill. Hill will be 43 years old by the time the 2023 season begins, and it will be his nineteenth season in the MLB.

In 2022 he proved that he is still an effective pitcher despite being near the end of his career. For a team that rarely makes big moves in free agency, the Pirates were quick to snag Hill.

Pitching is at a premium in the modern MLB, especially for starters. Hill can still perform well on the mound and started 26 games in 2022. If he can pitch at a similar rate in Pittsburgh, this signing will be well worth the price tag attached.

The MLB posted about this reported signing made by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Twitter.
