The Chicago Cubs have made a major move at the catcher position that includes moving on from Yan Gomes.
Sources: The Chicago Cubs are DFAing Yan Gomes and signing catcher Tomás Nido.Gomes being let go is no surprise. He has batted .154/.179/.242 so far this season to go along with two home runs and seven RBI. Those numbers are not going to get the job done.
Bringing in Nido is an interesting move for the Cubs. He could end up being a great addition and an upgrade for Chicago. Nido has played in 32 games this season with the Mets, hitting .229/.261/.361. He also has three home runs to go along with eight RBI. No one should be expecting Nido to come in and put up star caliber numbers, however, he could at least be an upgrade at the plate for the Cubs.
There will still be rumors and rumblings about Chicago exploring the catcher trade market before the late-July trade deadline, but, this is a move for the present that could help the Cubs fill a major need.PublishedEvan Massey is a sports reporter and analyst who covers both the NFL and NBA.
