Report: Rangers agree to 1-year deal with Gomez

Another outfielder has been taken off the market.

The Texas Rangers and free-agent outfielder Carlos Gomez have agreed on a new one-year, $11.5-million deal to bring the 31-year-old back to Arlington, according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.

The deal is pending a physical.

Gomez joined the Rangers in August on a minor-league contract after being released from the Houston Astros and performed well in limited action, hitting .284/.362/.543 with eight home runs and 24 RBIs in the team's final 33 games.

The 31-year-old now provides the Rangers with additional depth and versatility in the outfield, having played all three positions throughout his career. As it stands, the team will head into 2017 with an outfield consisting of Shin-Soo Choo, Nomar Mazara, Delino DeShields, and Gomez.

The Rangers have expressed interest in bringing back center fielder Ian Desmond, as the two sides have held "intense" contract talks in hopes of securing a new deal. The team has also been linked to free-agent Dexter Fowler and Andrew McCutchen through trade.
