Quick Hits: Gomes, Pudge, Lopez, Diamondbacks

With plenty of baseball still going on, here are some Saturday evening Quick Hits..

• Jonny Gomes is slumping badly for the Reds (.168/.302/.366 coming into today), and ESPN's Buster Olney doubts they'll be patient and wait until the trade deadline to see if he snaps out of it (Twitter link).
• Despite interest from the Giants, Ivan Rodriguez told Nationals GM Mike Rizzo that he wants to stay with the team according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson.
• Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times wonders if this could be the end of the line for Jose Lopez.  The veteran infielder was DFA'd by the Rockies earlier this week.
• The Diamondbacks have managed to turn their bullpen around without spending big bucks, writes Tyler Kepner of the New York Times.
• A National League executive told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter) that with so many teams are hovering around the .500 mark, many don't know if they're buyers or sellers yet.
