Jonny Gomes tells WEEI's Bradford he isn't retiring
Unemployed left fielder Jonny Gomes told WEEI's Rob Bradford that he is not retiring.
Bradford tweeted that he "just talked to Jonny Gomes," so this about as certain as you're going to get outside of Gomes himself calling a press conference. Earlier in the day, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo had reported that the well-traveled veteran outfielder had decided to retire. Gomes played for the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan up until May 11, when he left "by mutual consent." He hit just .169/.280/.246 over 75 plate appearances in Nippon Professional Baseball.
Gomes ends his big league career with a .242/.333/.436 triple slash and a .335 wOBA in 4,009 total appearances at the plate. He hit more than 20 home runs in three different seasons, and hit 13 or more in another five seasons.
