<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Cubs are talking to free-agent outfielder Jonny Gomes, according to major-league sources.
The 29-year-old corner outfielder is a right-handed hitter who would serve as the team's fourth outfielder, platooning with Kosuke Fukudome in right field. He hit 20 home runs and drove in 51 runs in only 281 at-bats last year, and had a .307 average against left-handed pitchers.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
This has to be the guy who I am least excited about. He had an OK year last season, but his career avg. and whiff numbers are not appealing to me.
