00:00The Yankees are going to try like heck to trade Luis Hill.
00:03On November 20th, all veteran players have to have their contracts either tended or not.
00:08You've got to send out a contract.
00:09Even with a lockout looming, you can't just assume the lockout.
00:13You've got to send out a tendered contract on November 20th.
00:16The Yankees have to make that decision at that time.
00:19MLGB trade rumors arbitration model has Hill at about $2.3 million for next season.
00:26Do the Yankees decide to non-tender him?
00:29Can they find a trade for him someplace for a team that wants to see if they can make a
00:34reclamation project out of the guy who was the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year?
00:39Do the Yankees want to keep him and see if he can be in the bullpen?
00:42But keep in mind, Hill and Schmidt are guys, they do not have minor league options left.
00:48So they're either on the team next year or they have to go through waivers.
00:52So if the Yankees feel like they can't help in the rotation, they can't help in the bullpen, there's going
00:57to be a thought about either non-tendering or trying to trade one or both.
01:03So let's go.
