Hill, who turns 35 next week, shined for the Yankees after being released by the lowly White Sox last season.

He went 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA across 44 innings spanning 35 games in the regular season and then allowed just one earned run in 8 1/3 innings in the postseason.

Some wondered if the World Series turns out differently had he faced Freddie Freeman instead of Nestor Cortes in the season-changing at-bat at the end of Game 1.

Hill provides the Yankees a much-needed southpaw for a bullpen that is reliant on right-handed pitchers in closer Devin Williams, setup man Luke Weaver and others.
