The crazy thing is that he's only 28 years old and had 37 saves for the Phillies two years ago. When I looked up the bio, I expected him to be early to mid 30's. He's also pretty familiar with our division, which should also help.

 

That gives you Soria, Gomez, Nate Jones and potentially Burdi who could all figure into the backend bullpen rotation. It alleviates almost all of the pressure on Jones to rush himself back and then get hurt again.

Jeanmar Alejandro Gomez Born: October 2, 1988 (29.121)

 

We can split the difference. He was 28 at the end of the 2017 season.

 

He's also a sinkerball pitcher who doesn't overwhelm with velocity, which is usually what the White Sox are looking for (keeping the ball on the ground and out of the air at USCF).

He was the Phillies closer back in 2016.

 

Wasn't he the Phillies closer for a while?

 

Did he closer before? Philly perhaps?

It is called "offseason" for a reason.

I had to make an allusion to Philly just because so many others had consecutively... seemed like the thing to do.

How old is he?

 

Baseball Reference (https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/gomezje01.shtml) has him turning 30 on the 10th of this month. So it's not really possible for him to have been 28 at the end of the 2017 season as suggested on the other page haha

Did you know that in the two thousand sixteenth year of the common era, a relief pitcher by the name of Jeanmar Gomez, who appears to be the same pitcher that the professional baseball organization from Chicago which uses the team name of White Sox that appears to be the focus of the message board on which I am currently writing this post recently signed, pitched in seventy of the scheduled contests in which the professional baseball organization from Philadelphia which uses the team name of Phillies competed, that in fifty nine of the aforementioned scheduled contests, the relief pitcher who is the subject of this discussion recorded the final out recorded by said professional baseball organization in the contest, and that in thirty seven of the aforementioned contests, the professional baseball organization from Philadelphia which uses the team name of Phillies was able to achieve the victory condition when the relief pitcher who is the subject of this discussion recorded the final out recorded by said professional baseball organization in the contest after the relief pitcher who is the subject of this discussion entered the contest at a time when the professional baseball organization from Philadelphia which uses the team name of Phillies had scored a total of runs which was three or fewer higher than the opposing professional baseball organization that was competing in the scheduled contest, which, per the rules of the scheduled contests that are created and enforced by the organization which schedules the contests of professional baseball organizations commonly known as Major League Baseball, qualified the relief pitcher who is the subject of this discussion to be credited with a statistic commonly known as a save?

If he is 30 this month, then no, he was not 28 at the end of the 2017 season. there is no difference to be split
