Hill's $3 Million Option Exercised by Yankees, Who Decline Loáisiga's $5 Million Option
The Yankees retained left-hander Tim Hill after a 3.09 ERA season and declined right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga’s option following his post-surgery struggles and injury.
- Wednesday, the New York Yankees exercised left-hander Tim Hill's $3 million club option and declined right-hander Jonathan Loáisiga's $5 million option for 2026.
- Jonathan Loáisiga, right-hander , had Tommy John surgery on April 12, 2024, returned May 16 but posted a 4.25 ERA in 30 relief appearances, missing two months with flexor strain and back tightness.
- A groundball specialist, Tim Hill led New York with 70 relief appearances in 2025 and finished second among qualifiers with a 64.8% groundball rate and 13.8% strikeout rate.
- Hill will remain with the Yankees into 2026 as the club reshapes its relief staff; the 23rd-ranked New York Yankees bullpen ERA at 4.37 highlights wider needs as Loáisiga becomes eligible for free agency.
- There are plenty of decisions for the New York Yankees this offseason, but they reportedly made a solid one on Tuesday by exercising Tim Hill's $3 million option after his rebound following release by the Chicago White Sox.
