All Aaron Hill does is hit for the cycle and make contract extension news. At least if you search the HardballTalk archives for him anyway. Since it’s the offseason, it’s contract extension time. From Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic:
The Diamondbacks have had preliminary discussions with second baseman Aaron Hill about a contract extension, and CEO Derrick Hall said he expects more substantial talks to begin soon.
Hill hit .302/.360/.522 with 26 home runs, 85 RBI and 14 stolen bases in 156 games last season. He signed a two-year deal last offseason, but given how players increasingly don’t wish to negotiate during the season combined with how short a window it is between the end of the season and the kickoff of the full-blown free agent derby each fall, the Dbacks would save a lot of hassle by locking him up now.
