Bruce Levine reported yesterday that there are teams interested in Rich Hill.
What teams might want him:
San Diego Padres- Could be a part of the Jake Peavy trade and the Padres need to cut budget and Hill is not making a lot of money.
Texas Rangers- Desperate of pitching and might want to take a chance on a guy who had stuff 2 years ago. Need pitching to compete with the Angels and Athletics's.
Oakland Athletics- The only thing they really need to compete with the Angels, is about 2 more starters. Last year they traded Dan Haren to the Diamondbacks before the season started and Rich Harden to the Cubs and Joe Blanton to the Phillies at the trade deadline last year.
Baltimore Orioles- They really don't have pitching and might need a couple more starters to finish around 5 hundred. They don't have a chance to compete with the Yankees, Red Sox, and the Rays but they can show a point that they could be a good team.
Seattle Mariners- They might need another pitcher to make spot starts if a pitcher gets injured, for instance like Eric Bedard, he had arm injuries last year and he might get them again. So they will need a cheap price player to step in.
Kansas City Royals- They have a lot of starting pitching but maybe to get his command back they will put him in the bullpen. They still need more pitchers in there bullpen.
Chicago White Sox- Don't like to spend money and like to take chances on Pitchers (Bartolo Colon, sign 1 year 1 million deal this year).
I put no teams up here on the National League because the Cubs don't want Rich Hill to come back and do really good and beat them for a win.
Those are some teams that I think will be interested in Rich Hill.

I am starting to feel not very confident with the Peavy trade. I hope it happends but with the latest trade i am jus not to sure anymore. Rich Hill could be part of the Peavy trade, but if Jim trades him to another team, Texas?, I don't think the Peavy trade will happen? All of the moves leading up to yesterday made me confident that a Peavy trade will occur, but yesterday with the trade i am not so confident anymore. I would say about a 65% of the trade, but that is falling. I think yesterday when Tim Dierkes posted that the Cubs-Peavy deal isn't working, it was more of a "we don't want to talk about it." I remember Jim saying he was upset that Towers told th media about everything back at the winter meetings. I head somebody say if the talks do restart, the media won't know. Also, two nights ago I called into 670 The Score, and asked Zack about what he thinks about Uribe coming to the Cubs, he just said that dont the Cubs have enough back ups? I am not sure if the off-season was that good, but a Peavy trade will help things! Only problem I am thinking about a Peavy trade is the following, a 5-7 player deal for one player is STUPID. DONT RUIN THE WHOLE FARM SYSTEM! IMO the Cubs wont start the Roberts thing again too.
