Rich Hill gets his L.A. payday: 3 years, $48 million

“I think it’s something that has been an incredible journey to get to this point, but never did I ever think that I would pack it in,” Hill, 36, said at the winter meetings in suburban Washington.

Hill was 1-1 with a 3.46 ERA in three postseason starts for the NL West champion Dodgers, throwing six scoreless innings to win Game 3 of the NL Championship Series against the Cubs.

The Blue Jays signed versatile Steve Pearce and Philadelphia added reliever Joaquin Benoit.

There has been no movement yet on the top trade targets — White Sox left-hander Chris Sale, Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen and possibly two Detroit fixtures, first baseman Miguel Cabrera and pitcher Justin Verlander.

The Yankees confirmed they’re trying to boost their bullpen with a major free-agent acquisition.

Colin Faulkner, Cubs senior vice president of sales and marketing, says last year’s team created “unprecedented demand” for tickets and that the higher prices shouldn’t be a surprise.
