Rich Hill is expected to join the Kansas City Royals on Monday, marking the 14th team of his career, tying the MLB record.
The Royals won 86 games last season, going from rebuilder to contender in a matter of months. However, despite an offseason that saw the team add Jonathan India and closer Carlos Estevez, Kansas City sat outside of the playoff race heading into the All-Star break.
By calling up Rich Hill for Tuesday's showdown with the Chicago Cubs, the Kansas City Royals put the 45-year-old left-hander in position to make history.
Kansas City Royals closer Carlos Estévez is headed to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. The top reliever will replace Texas Rangers starter Jacob deGrom on the American League roster. Estévez, 32, has shined in his first season with the Royals. He leads the AL with 25 saves and has posted a 2.03 ERA in 39 appearances.

The Yankees closed the door on Jim Bowden's bold Royals trade prediction on Friday meaning Maikel Garcia isn’t headed to the Bronx after all.
As part of the deal, the Royals sent minor league reliever Andrew Hoffman to the Diamondbacks. Why this trade could be a risk is Hoffman is an arm that could turn into a decent reliever in MLB. This season, Hoffman has a 2.25 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP. He also has 55 strikeouts and two saves.
