Will the Boston Red Sox fan-favorite find a new home or hang his cleats up?
bullpen has struggled since the All-Star break so the Red Sox looked for a way to add some depth. The Red Sox looked all around and ended up signing fan-favorite veteran Rich Hill.
Hill now is 44 years old and was looking for a new opportunity at the big league level. He spent much of the first half of the season coaching Little League and then held an open showcase to possibly interested teams. Boston was one of the teams that attended the showcase and ultimately ended up signing him.
The partnership didn't last long, though. Hill made just four appearances and recently was designated for assignment to make room on the roster. Hill went unclaimed and officially was released by the Red Sox on Monday,Hill already had spent three stints with Boston before recently re-signing with the team. He is from the Boston area so it isn't surprising that he wanted to return to his hometown team.
The veteran lefty allowed two earned runs across 3 2/3 innings pitched and at the very least could be a veteran presence in a contender's clubhouse. If a team doesn't end up signing Hill and he hangs his cleats up, it certainly was a successful career.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
