Looking At Gil

Gil has spent part of five seasons in the Bronx.

He had gotten off to a strong start to his career when he won the 2024 American League Rookie of The Year Award.

That season, the 28-year-old went 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA in 29 starts.

It will be interesting to see if another team is willing to take a chance on him.
