Indians sign Yan Gomes to six-year, $23 million contract extension
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that the Indians have signed catcher Yan
Gomes to a six-year, $23 million contract extension which includes two option
years. The 26-year-old was not eligible for arbitration until after the 2015
season. The contract buys out all three arbitration years and one year of
free agency. Per Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, Gomes’ deal is a record for a
catcher not yet eligible for arbitration.
Gomes split time behind the plate last year with Carlos Santana. Santana,
however, has moved to third base so Gomes should get a vast majority of the
playing time as the Indians’ catcher. Gomes finished the 2013 season with an
.826 OPS. According to weighted on-base average (wOBA) from FanGraphs, Gomes
was the fifth-best hitting catcher in baseball, minimum 300 plate
appearances. At .359, he trailed Joe Mauer, Santana, Yadier Molina, and Jason
Castro. He ranked just ahead of Buster Posey.
