The Kansas City Royals have signed 45-year-old left-hander Rich Hill to a minor league deal, with plans for him to report to spring training in Arizona. Hill, who has a 4.01 ERA and 1,428 strikeouts over 248 starts in his two-decade career, aims to prove his value at Triple-A Omaha as the Royals pursue postseason contention. If called up, he would become the 14th player to pitch for 14 different franchises, joining Edwin Jackson in this unique record.
