The Chicago Cubs are looking for a veteran position player and someone like Jonny Gomes might be a fit.

"In an ideal world, we'd like to add to the outfield mix," Theo Epstein said. "Just because we have three guys that go out there and form an Opening Day outfield as it is, that doesn't mean we're content. We're certainly going to add talent and shape the way the parts fit together once we can acquire some more talent."

"League sources indicate that the Cubs could be interested in Oakland Athletics outfielder Jonny Gomes for this role. He checks the boxes for leadership and playoff experience, having been to the postseason four of the past five years playing for three teams, including the A's in 2012 and 2014," writes Jesse Rogers.
