"I don't have any plans on playing next year,"
"I'm looking for open possibilities to stay in the game of baseball and be a contributory factor as you know, again, I enjoy the the work aspect of whatever it might be that's next. I think that's one thing why athletes get hired in in other positions outside of sports is because they are, you know, highly driven people that want to succeed. And that's something that I'm looking forward to."
Rich Hill confirmed he does not plan to play in 2026 and is seeking opportunities to remain involved in baseball in a contributory, work-focused role. Hill emphasized enjoyment of the work aspect and noted that driven athletes often transition into non-playing positions. He was traded to the Dodgers in 2016 with Josh Reddick and debuted for Los Angeles with six scoreless innings against the Giants. The Dodgers re-signed him to a three-year, $48 million deal after 2016. Hill battled knee and forearm injuries in 2019, returned to post a 2.45 ERA across 13 starts, and won the Tony Conigliaro Award that year. His career totals include a 90-76 record, 4.02 ERA, 1,432 strikeouts, 1.263 WHIP, 1,418 innings and 16 bWAR across 21 MLB seasons.
