The Kansas City Royals signed 45-year-old pitcher Rich Hill to a minor league contract. He will report to their spring training facility and then likely head to Triple-A Omaha.

At 45 years old, the veteran southpaw signed a minor league deal with the Royals, the team announced on Tuesday. Hill will reportedly join Triple-A Omaha after reporting to Kansas City’s spring training facility in Florida.

The Royals announced that they signed Rich Hill to a minor-league contract, which would give Hill the opportunity to pitch for his 14th team and tie Edwin Jackson's record. Hill would also become the oldest pitcher to record an appearance since Bartolo Colon made his final start in September 2018 at 45 years and 121 days old.
