The Reds have extended an offer to free-agent outfielder Jonny Gomes.
Cincinnati general manager Walt Jocketty confirmed the offer to Gomes, who hit 20 homers in 287 at-bats for the Reds last season.
"I talked to (Gomes') agent a little while ago," Jocketty said. "Hopefully, we can get something worked out."
