Yankees Exercise Hill's 2026 Option, Decline Loaisiga's
The Yankees will exercise their club option on reliever Tim Hill for 2026 at $3 million, while declining their option on Jonathan Loaisiga, making him a free agent. Hill has been effective with a 2.68 ERA over two seasons, and his groundball skills make him a valuable bullpen asset. Loaisiga, once a promising closer candidate, has struggled with injuries and inconsistency, and is likely to seek a minor league deal this winter. The Yankees' bullpen appears well-stocked but may seek additional help for closing roles.
