Should the Yankees non-tender Luis Gil?

Andrés Chávez evaluates whether the New York Yankees should non-tender right-handed pitcher Luis Gil ahead of the November 20 deadline. Following his 2024 American League Rookie of the Year campaign, Gil has faced injury struggles, including a severe lat strain in 2025 and shoulder issues in 2026 that limited him to 27.1 major league innings with a 4.61 ERA.

Chávez suggests the Yankees may explore trading Gil before deciding whether to tender him a contract projected at $2.3 million via arbitration. Because Gil is out of minor league options, Chávez argues that keeping him would likely require committing to a full-time bullpen role, though he doubts Gil's long-term viability without drastic improvement.
