Several teams are reportedly interested in Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez, and per Fox Sport’s Ken Rosenthal, the Indians are among them.
Gomez, 29, wouldn’t simply be a two-month rental, as he’ll earn $8 million this season and is under contract for 2016 as well at $9 million. This year, he’s hitting .266 with eight home runs and 42 RBI, enough for a 1.9 WAR. He had a 7.5 WAR in 2013 and a 5.7 WAR in 2014.
A deal for Gomez would likely mean, either this week or this winter, that Michael Bourn could be on the move.
