Jonny Gomes Rumors: Still a chance with the Reds
ByJohn Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes that the Reds are still working on signing free agent outfielder Jonny Gomes.
“There’s a still a chance (with Gomes),” Reds’ GM Walt Jocketty said. “I don’t know how soon we can get it done. We’ve got to see how much opportunity for playing time is there, and we’ve got to work out with the payroll.”
Gomes is the only free agent that the Reds are talking to.
It was rumored a few weeks ago that the Chicago Cubs were talking to Gomes. The Indians and Mariners have also expressed interest this off season.
Gomes, 29, was non-tendered by the Cincinnati Reds after he hit .267 with 20 home runs and drove in 51 RBIs in his only season with the team. You can see Gomes’ contract history and statistics here.
