Moises Gomez Signs Minor-League Deal With The Padres
2 days agoAccording to the transaction log on MLB.com, former power-hitting prospect Moises Gomez has agreed to a minor league deal with the San Diego Padres. Gomez was released by the Cardinals at the end of July after a rough season in Triple-A. He hit only .194 with three home runs in 45 minor league games in 2024, but he has shown signs of turning things around in winter ball. In Venezuela, he is hitting .273/.396/.613 with 15 home runs in 48 games this winter. Earlier in his career, the right-handed hitter had 39 minor league homers in 2022 and 30 homers in 2023. In his previous work at Triple-A, he has shown plenty of power but also posted a very high strikeout rate. It's unclear if his new deal will include an invite to Spring Training, but if he can rediscover his power stroke, he could be a prospect to monitor since he's still just 26 years old.
