Luis Gil Identified as Low-Risk Trade Target for San Diego Padres

New York Yankees starter Luis Gil has emerged as a potential trade candidate for the San Diego Padres as they seek to revamp their rotation. The 2024 AL Rookie of the Year winner has struggled with injuries, including a lat strain and shoulder strain that limited his velocity to 94 mph and raised his walk rate to 5.9%. San Diego sees Gil as a low-risk, high-reward option who could bounce back under pitching coach Ruben Niebla.
