LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Dodgers today announced the signing of free agent left-handed pitcher Rich Hill to a three-year contract.
Hill and Dodger President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman will be available to the media at 2:00 p.m. ET in the Woodrow Wilson Ballroom at Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings at the Gaylord National Hotel in National Harbor, Maryland.
Hill, 36, was originally acquired by the Dodgers in a five-player trade with the Athletics on Aug. 1 and went 3-2 with a 1.83 ERA in six starts with Los Angeles. In three postseason starts for the Dodgers, he posted a 1-1 record with a 3.46 ERA (5 ER/13.0 IP), including firing 6.0 scoreless innings to pick up the win in NLCS Game 3 vs. the Cubs.
Overall, Hill went 12-5 with a 2.12 ERA in 20 starts with Los Angeles and Oakland last year, ranking among the Majors' best (min. 100.0 IP) in ERA (2^nd, behind only Clayton Kershaw, 1.69), opponents' batting average (.195, 3^rd) and WHIP (1.00, 5^th) despite being limited by a blister and groin injury.
Hill has a 38-28 career record with a 4.10 ERA in 221 games (94 starts) in 12 MLB seasons with the Cubs (2005-08), Orioles (2009), Red Sox (2010-12, '15), Indians (2012), Angels (2014), Yankees (2014), Athletics (2016) and Dodgers (2016) after being selected in the fourth round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Michigan.
The Dodgers have 40 players on their 40-man roster.
