Twice during his career, Rich Hill pitched for the Boston Red Sox. And both times it went well, he who always had good numbers in his hometown.
Even if he was reliever the first time, we can still say that he throws well in Boston.
All that to say that the free agent could well and truly consider the Red Sox in his quest for a contract. After all, the Sox need starters, he needs a team, and there is mutual benefit.
This is what the pitcher confirmed.
Obviously, the fact that he is a veteran could also help to supervise the young people. Why?
Because, besides Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi, the rotation of the Red Sox will be very young. Guys like Nick Pivetta, Tanner Houck and Conner Seabold will all have their chance in the rotation.
Obviously, this creates uncertainty among the leaders of the club. Leaving so many young people in a rotation is undesirable for a club that wants to make the playoffs in the competitive East American division.
Without being the club’s # 3 pitcher, he could provide stability at the end of the rotation. At 41, young people could rely on him.
And it should be mentioned that just because he’s old doesn’t mean he can’t throw well. In Tampa and New York in 2021, he did well. and we dare to believe that it will still be able to offer good performances in 2022.
Several clubs will be chasing him, but if Boston offers him a fair price, he could come home to possibly end his career.
