Carlos Gomez


Recommended Posts

Now that the Gomez trade has fallen through, he is still available to anyone on the market.

 

The Brewers have already shown their hand on what they'd need for him. They wanted a young pitcher and an infielder.

 

Why don't the Sox offer Montas, Micah, and a lower level prospect for him? I think the Brewers would be interested.

 

Imagine how good the Sox would be with Gomez behind Eaton? Plus Gomez would be here for 2016 as well. Let's discuss. I think Hahn should try to get him.

Not sure Montas would be as enticing as Wheeler. Plus, Micah got hurt tonight (any updates anyone?).

 

I do like the idea if they can get it done, tho.

Yeah that package wasnt really good for the Brewers when the rumors were the price was high. A pitcher coming off TJ surgery and Flores. That's not ground breaking. He's under control for next season too.

 

 

Plus it sounds like Wheeler's medicals may have been part of the issue.

Saw some stuff on Twitter now that Brewers plan to still move Gomez by Friday. Other than mets, who else in an actual fit for him. Have to assume won't trade in division.

Dodgers - NO.

giants - No (focused on pitching).

Nationals - highly unlikely.

Jays - No

Orioles - possibly yes

Rays - highly unlikely

Twins - highly unlikely

Angels - highly unlikely

stros - doubt it

White Sox - YES please

We'd probably want to trade Avi so we don't have to carry an extra OF. Unless you want to option Shuck to AAA. And can Gomez play RF? Or will Eaton?

 

Gomez could play anywhere in the Of, but is a much better CF than Eaton (and most CF in the game).

Gomez is a f*** stick. I would rather not have to root for him.

 

He's a guy you love to hate, but would love to have on your team. He's a heck of a player and goes all out.

Why not? He's already an established, solid player that would fit great on this team.

 

He's the most perfect fit I can think of. He is a great defender, very fast and is still under 30 and gets $7M /year through 2016. Boras is his agent but for the rest of this year and next he's perfect.

He's 30, age of decline.

Too expensive in terms of prospects.

Sox don't need a CF.

he's signed for only another year.

And if people would look at numbers, and not reputation, they would see his OPS is a modest .761 this year...the decline may be under way.

Too expensive in terms of prospects? How? How was that trade from the Mets expensive? How is him being signed for only 1 more year a problem?
