What happened to the former Phillies closer?

When the Phillies went into nearly a decade of rebuilding there were stars who emerged for just a brief period of time who disappeared as quickly as they arrived.

A notable player who seemed to have disappeared from the game is the Phillies former closer Jeanmar Gomez.

Some may not realize that Gomez was somewhat of a veteran player when he made it to Philadelphia in 2015. He had played portions of five seasons with Cleveland and Pittsburgh, first as a starter and then as a reliever.
