He would crush on a softball league!
robhussle
Eric Byrnes should hit him up!
rycm131
Why?????

Gomes may still believe he can play, or perhaps he’s using ST 2017 to endear himself to an organization that might consider keeping him in the game in an off-the-field capacity if he doesn’t make it back onto an MLB roster.

Because he still wants to play?

Isn’t this the guy who had a heart attack? And didn’t his life be decided by the flip of a coin?
TheChanceyColborn
Yes
24TheKid
Wait what’s this story cause I don’t know.
Yosted1738
If you mean the story about Gomes near-death (2 times actually) it was addressed in and ESPN series E:60. It can be found on YouTube. Worth the watch.
24TheKid
They meant that he once mashed lefties.

Love to see him in the red Sox organization as a motivational speaker. if anyone could do it, this guy is the man. Tampa same deal, don’t know if rays would fork over cash required for a name to get someone to do that, Boston does with several ex players who roam the various levels and this guy think would be another great addition.

You’re kidding right? The guy’s a dillusional moron.
johnsilver
He can be a leader. not to mention? Some of the supposed heroes in other sports to youngsters are nothing more than crack heads, caught with guns, women beaters..
Gomes a moron? Don’t think so compared to what some youngsters look up to nowadays.
woodhead1986
do you know any young people or just chase them off your lawn?

Probably the worst possible offseason for him to attempt a comeback. There are so many guys with his skill set on the FA market.
tim815
He’s worth an NRI for any of the 30 teams. With a late-March opt-out.
stymeedone
Hmmm… Me thinks Mr. Gomes has picked a bad year for a comeback. There seems to already be a plethora of right handed DH types who are lying in FA limbo, who no one wants to sign (who are better than he is). Get to the back of the line.
ronnsnow
He seems like a good fit for the Cubs
siliconmessiah
Eww, no, please dear God, no.
charlienutlikka
who cares about lil jonny gomes? bfd !
Philliesfan4life
A fourth outfielder for the angels
robhussle
I was thinking the same thing. He could play RF against lefties. Think he’d fit in with the guys? Seems like it must be Albert’s team still, but I always heard that Gomes was a great guy to have in the clubhouse.
wbz41
I’m still creeped out by his speech after the Royals WS when he wasn’t on the roster. Seemed like he’s slowly making the transition to pro wrestling.
66TheNumberOfTheBest
Not specific to Gomes, but it seems like the talent pool has expanded to where legit MLB players will not have roster spots come April.
Might be time for MLB to go to 32 teams.
Dookie Howser, MD
Those two teams would be filled with “legit MLB players” who are are all power-only corner-outfielders or 1B/DH bats, platoon players, and fringe veterans looking to catch on as bench depth, God know who would pitch. Cole Hammels, Doug Fister, Nate Eovaldi, and a Jorge/Rhubby Dynamic De La Rosa duo?
Ok, I’m on board as long as we get Jorge and Rubby on the same team.
natethesnake
Am I the only one that noticed that the writer said “the lefty masher”….Jonny Gomes is so very RIGHT handed.
baseball0021
He mashes lefty pitching is what that phrase refers to
lesterdnightfly
Yes, you were the only one who noticed, and the only one who read it wrong.

Perfect, the Os have been trying to find the 2017 homerun leader as cheap as possible.
gmenfan
Screams “minor league signing by the Giants.”
OnMy11Six
Was thinking the same thing lol. He’s from the Bay too.
vinscully16
Jonny is not only a well below average MLB player, but entirely obnoxious.
Logjammer D"Baggagecling
Hopefully they get his name right it’s just Gomez with an s. Then again the Mets have a pitcher that spells his name with a j and somehow his name is Henry.
Rob66
The Dodgers were terrible last year vs. Lefties–one reason why they want Dozier. Offer him a minor league contract and invite to spring training.
