Gomes had a bit of a renaissance in 2023 as a member of the Cubs. In his second season in the Windy City, the veteran backstop posted a solid .267 batting average and .723 OPS, to go along with 10 home runs and 63 RBI across 116 games. The 10 home runs were his most since 2021, while the 63 RBI were the second most of his career, behind only the 74 RBI he compiled back in 2014 with Cleveland. Those numbers don't jump off the page, but at a position that can get thin quickly, they put Gomes squarely on the map heading into 2024, particularly in two-catcher formats. The Cubs exercised his $6 million club option in November, setting Gomes up as the No. 1 catcher once again. However, 24-year-old Miguel Amaya is waiting in the wings, and he could get a chance if the Cubs fall out of contention and decide to give more playing time to young players. For now, Gomes is a solid if not spectacular fantasy catching option due to his fairly secure hold on the starting job in the short term. Read Past Outlooks
