The Tampa Bay Rays have found a quick answer in right field after the trade of Steven Souza Jr. last night. Veteran OF Carlos Gomez will join the Rays to add a right handed compliment to the team’s core of left handed outfielders.
Per Marc Topkin, Gomez will join the Rays on a $4 million guaranteed deal with $500,000 in incentives. The deal is pending a physical.
Gomez was once a dominant bat circa 2012-2014 with the Milwaukee Brewers, and has been worth more than two wins above replacement six of the last seven seasons.
