Padres acquire pitcher Tim Hill in trade with Royals

The San Diego Padres have acquired pitcher Tim Hill from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for outfielder Franchy Cordero.

What It Means:

After a breakout season in 2019, Hill was valued highly on the market with his contract under team control until 2024. Considering this year's shortened format, the 30-year old should see plenty of appearances as San Diego's left-handed specialist.

For this upcoming 60-game season, Hill's yearly projection includes a 4.20 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 19 innings pitched.
