Carlos Gomez helicopters in for a meeting with Rangers GM Jon Daniels

BOCA CHICA, Dominican Republic - You know how you know a guy is interested in re-signing with a team?

When he charters a helicopter to fly him across an island just to have a meeting.

Such was the case Tuesday morning when Carlos Gomez, who lives in Santiago on the north side of the Dominican Republic, took a 50-minute flight and landed in a dirt clearing that will soon house the Rangers new baseball academy to have a casual chat with general manager Jon Daniels. Daniels is in the Dominican Republic attending the Rangers' annual January camp for young minor leaguers.
