Kelly Theiser at MLB.com writes about Carlos Gomez‘s reaction to the trade and how excited he is about the opportunity to be an every day center fielder.
Theiser quotes Gomez as saying…
“The only thing I heard about was Santana, Santana, Santana. Nothing in the news was said about Gomez, or nothing about the other players traded to the Twins. But I think all us prospects have the tools to play in the big leagues.”
…after signing with the Mets at the age of 16, gomez probably feels a bit scorned…but, it seems like he’ll embrace the possibility of playing centerfield every day for the Twins...i wish him well and fully expect him to develop into a solid ball player…
