PITTSBURGH, PA (SNN-TV) – The Pittsburgh Pirates added another new face you’ll see in Bradenton this spring, as today they signed left-handed pitcher Rich Hill to a one-year contract for the 2023 season.

The 42-year old went 8-7 with a 4.27 era and 108 strikeouts in 26 starts last year with Boston. The 18-year veteran closed out the 2022 campaign by recording a 2.36 era and 30 strikeouts in his final five starts.

To make room for hill on the 40-man roster, right-handed pitcher Zach Thompson has been designated for assignment.
