But will he accept a cheaper one?
I think the biggest issue with our team is bullpen and 3rd base at this time.
Regardless of anything else, we need another starting-level catcher, Suzuki is 36 and can't be counted on for more than around 80 games a year (he caught 85 last year).
I can't imagine Gomes' .223 / .316 /.389 is going to be worth much more than $5 million, unless they decide that Read is capable of similar stats at league minimum.
here's some speculation that we trade for McCann:
