  "account": "The New York Yankees have secured the services of left-handed reliever Tim Hill for the upcoming season, according to reports from The Associated Press. Hill has agreed to a one-year contract worth $2.25 million, with a $2.5 million club option for 2028. Speaking on condition of anonymity due to the still-unofficial nature of the deal, the source noted that Hill, 36, had a strong 2023 campaign. He posted a 5-2 record with a 4.60 ERA and two saves in 58 2/3 innings across 67 appearances. Hill's 12 homers were the most he has allowed in a season, exceeding his previous career high by three. His 68.8% ground-ball rate was the highest among pitchers with 50 or more innings, and he also held left-handed batters to a .213 batting average while right-handed hitters went .293 against him. Hill, a nine-year veteran, was signed by the Yankees in June 2024 after being released by the Chicago White Sox. His salary for the 2024 season was $3 million, a figure the Yankees exercised as an option, after which he became a free agent.",
