Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jul 22, 2025 6:41 pm

The Kansas City Royals plan to call up 45-year-old pitcher Rich Hill from the minors for a start against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, marking the left-hander\'s 21st season in the majors.

According to ESPN Research, when Hill takes the mound, he will tie Edwin Jackson for the most franchises played for in MLB history at 14. He will also be the first pitcher, 45 or older, to appear in a game since Bartolo Colon in 2018.
