PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Carlos Gomez met with reporters on Tuesday morning, the first time he's done so since the Rays and the veteran outfielder finalized terms Saturday on a one-year, $4 million deal with another $500,000 in incentives.
"I'm excited to play anywhere," said Gomez about joining the Rays. "It's what I love. But now a new role, I play right field. You have three center fielders playing the outfield. Denard Span, Kevin Kiermaier and me, [which] makes your job easy. More easy when you have the kind of center fielder like Kiermaier is.
