OXON HILL, Md. -- Carlos Gomez is staying with the Texas Rangers.
The outfielder agreed to an $11.5 million, one-year contract, a deal subject to a successful physical.
"Many of the objectives of the Rangers for Carlos go beyond one year," his agent, Scott Boras, said Wednesday. "Certainly Carlos really enjoyed the team and the environment and feels he's got a great chance to win. So I think both parties' objectives were met by that deal."
Gomez, who turned 31 last weekend, figures to play center as general manager Jon Daniels structured an outfield that includes Shin-Soo Choo in right and Nomar Mazara in left.
