Rich Hill Coming to a close wants elusive title Hopes to help Rays take winning to another level Fred Goodall AP sports writer

Rich Hill is frank when he talks about why he’s excited to join the Tampa Bay Rays. “The opportunity to win — and win now,” the 40-year-old left-hander, who’s chasing a World Series championship that’s eluded him during a major league Rich Hill career that spans portions of 16 seasons with nine other teams, said. “Once you’ve been there a couple of times and fallen short, it kind of becomes an ob- session,” Hill added. “You want to get back there and finish it.” The defending AL champion Rays came within two victories of winning it all during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Hill helped the Los Angeles Dodgers win NL pennants before losing the World Series in 2017 and 2018. Now, the lefty who finished last year as the oldest active pitcher in the majors hopes he can help his newest team — and himself — get over the hump as part of a rotation Tampa Bay is revamping after trading left- hander Blake Snell and declin- ing an option on veteran right-hander Charlie Morton.
