The Indians needed a right-handed hitting outfielder and were interested in bringing Gill back in 1930, but rookie Bob Seeds outperformed him in spring training and made the major-league club.

[1] Gill was then sold to the Baltimore Orioles of the Double-A International League,[2] where he hit 34 home runs and batted .325 that year.

After hitting .344 with 23 homers in 1931, he was purchased by the Washington Senators in September and appeared in 8 games as they battled with the New York Yankees for second place in the American League.

After the Cubs sold him to San Francisco Seals of the Double-A Pacific Coast League for the 1937 season, he returned to Chattanooga in 1938, playing for Baltimore again and his hometown Nashville Volunteers in 1938–39.

Gill then played for the Portland Beavers of the PCL for six seasons before ending his career as a player-manager for the Union City Greyhounds and Fulton Chicks in the Class D Kentucky-Illinois-Tennessee League from 1946 to 1947.
