Yankees re-sign Tim Hill to fill crucial bullpen role

The Yankees finally have a lefty in their bullpen again, and it is the one that emerged to play a key role for them late last season.

The club and Tim Hill agreed to a one-year, $2.85 million contract Tuesday, The Post’s Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman reported, bringing back an important late-inning arm to Aaron Boone’s relief corps.

The deal includes a $2.5 million salary for 2025 and a $3 million club option or $350,000 buyout for 2026.

The veteran Hill signed with the Yankees last June, at a time when their other lefty bullpen arms were struggling, and quickly entered Boone’s circle of trust.

The side-arm ground-ball specialist pitched to a 2.05 ERA across 44 innings and 35 appearances during the regular season before allowing just one earned run in 8 ⅓ postseason innings.

Before reuniting with Hill, the Yankees did not have a lefty in their bullpen, but now Hill will join Luke Weaver, Jake Cousins, Jonathan Loaisiga, Ian Hamilton and Mark Leiter Jr. as high-leverage options to form the bridge to new closer Devin Williams.
