Clearly, Yan Gomes is just doing his part to drive down Carlos Rodon’s asking price in the offseason, wanting to be paired up with the lefty next season.
After Nico Hoerner singled and stole second base on Rodon, Gomes battled him for a bit before sending this one to the bleachers:
Gomes still isn’t having a great year at the plate (.237/.263/.364/73 wRC+ after that homer), but he’s heating up here at the close.
