The Indians are “in serious discussions” for a deal that would send catcher Yan Gomes to the Washington Nationals, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. No word on what the Indians would potentially get back, but some guy named Dan claims it will not be for any of the Nationals’ top prospect.
Gomes debuted with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2012, but came to Cleveland along with Mike Aviles in exchange for Esmil Rogers following the 2012 season. A Silver Slugger Award winner in 2014, Gomes once had a pretty promising bat behind the plate for the Tribe.
