Hearing rumblings that Jonny Gomes could get traded by #Braves today, as much for what he brings off the field as on it.

Gomes is the modern day Brian Jordan.

Great, great, guy. However, I'd prefer he is not holding a spot on this 25-man roster next year.

I wonder what his bullpen managing skills are like.Originally Posted by dak

There are a few teams in on Jonny Gomes, per source. Candidate to be dealt by 4.

I like Gomes, but I don't want him to accrue enough Ab's to kick in his option with us. A young contender like the Twins or Stros would value him this year.
Gomes is definitely one of those players that I'd be happy if we traded even for a low upside relief prospect. A mediocre young player with years of control beats what Gomes brings to our team as constructed.
I can't believe that we would get anything back of value for Gomes. I'll be happy with anything.

He's the kitten that you give away for free "to a good home."
I could see us packaging Aardsma or Frasor with him and eating the remaining salary this year to try and coax a halfway decent prospect
I'm sure Hart can spin Gomes for a valuable piece. I wouldn't underestimate him.
"Look, blow me away ... or at least make it palatable."
Probably not, but you never know. Contending teams are always looking for bench help. Plus, veteran leadership and championship experience are two things Gomes brings. Is he going to bring a team's top 25 prospect? Probably not. But, we'll see what he brings, providing he's dealt.

He will provide extra salary relief not being on team next year.
If moved, its my guess that Gomes would bring us cash considerations. He's too far past his prime to bring us a pitching prospect coming off TJ. ;)
Maybe a jar of ligaments for use in future surgeries.
I hear planned parenthood's business is booming
I have no problem with dealing Gomes. It doesn't matter what we get back. Trade him to a contender and let him have another shot at a ring.

Post of the day!
When he was discussing it with the other John, he said "high calibre" instead of "palatable"—and he forgot to say "away".
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
