Yesterday, Tim Hill received the 2025 Tony Conigliaro Award, which recognizes a “Major Leaguer who has overcome adversity through the attributes of spirit, determination, and courage that were trademarks of Tony C."
Before Hill was selected in the 32nd round of the 2014 Draft, he lost his father, Jerry, to colon cancer at the start of his sophomore year of high school in 2007. Then, in 2015 during his first minor league spring training, Tim was diagnosed with Lynch Syndrome. Later, when Tim was 25, he was also diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer.
After enduring surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, he was declared cancer-free in late 2016 and returned to baseball, eventually making his Major League debut in 2018. The 2026 season marked Hill’s ninth in the Majors 💙
The Blue Jays are close to spending $300 Million this offseason after going to the World Series in 2025, the Red Sox couldn’t go pass the Wild Card and their biggest move is a trade for Sonny Gray.
The #Yankees are among teams calling St Louis regarding 2B Brendan Donovan per Derrick Goold.
The Cardinals aren’t necessarily shopping him but they’re fielding calls.
New York also inquired about Donovan last July at the trade deadline.
