New York Yankees Expected to Aggressively Shop Luis Gil Before November 20 Deadline

The New York Yankees are expected to aggressively pursue a trade for right-handed pitcher Luis Gil before the November 20 contract tender deadline, according to New York Post insider Joel Sherman. Gil is projected by MLB Trade Rumors to earn $2.3 million in arbitration next season. If the club fails to complete a trade, they could consider non-tendering him, which would allow the former Rookie of the Year to become a free agent.

Gil was named American League Rookie of the Year in 2024 but has battled injuries and control issues across recent campaigns. He pitched just 27 1/3 innings across nine Major League appearances in 2026, posting a 4.61 ERA. With the Yankees unlikely to include him in their 2027 starting rotation, the front office must determine whether to retain him as a bullpen option or move on via a permanent trade.
