That&#8217;s a nice thing in general. To give yourself a shot of making the playoffs, they&#8217;re not going to seem like a world-beater on paper. That includes bringing in high-priced players to play in complimentary positions.<\/p>\n<p>Last season&#8217;s 93 wRC+ virtually matched his lifetime wRC+ of 91, making the veteran a slightly below-average hitter for most of his career. However, it&#8217;s an acceptable backstop for a goal. Even if Willson Contreras isn&#8217;t dealt, he may still make an impact in deep, two-catcher leagues if he gets enough at-bats as a back-up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yan Gomes has agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract with the Chicago Cubs.
