I can see how Hall would want to be traded, but I don't remember when letting anybody outside the organization know about it has ever helped get a trade done. I think Hall would be very attractive to a team in need of help at SS. I don't think he is a good defender at that position, but he can play there and his hitting would not be as painful to watch coming from a SS. You might be able to live with a 25+HR, .300 OBP guy at SS.
