Seattle Mariners outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is one of the players the Mariners are releasing among their minor league cuts. Gonzalez signed a minor league deal with the M's with an invite to spring training, where he hit .237 before the coronavirus shutdown in early March. The 34-year-old Venezuelan was a three-time All-Star with the Rockies but struggled mightily in 2019 in his first season away from Coors Field, hitting a combined .200/.289/.283 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 45 games (166 plate appearances) with the Indians and Cubs. Car-Go could resurface elsewhere, but he's unlikely to make much of an impact on a major league squad, especially in a shortened 2020 season.
The Seattle Mariners signed outfielder Carlos Gonzalez to a minor league deal on Tuesday that will pay him $750,000 if he makes the major league roster. Gonzalez will also receive an invite to big league camp in spring training. The three-time All-Star has a shot to make the team's Opening Day roster, but he will most likely be a platoon bat, at best, if that happens. Car-Go had some great years with the Rockies at hitter-friendly Coors Field, but he hit just .200/.289/.283 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 45 games with the Indians and Cubs in 2019. He'll need to do much better than that to earn a spot with Seattle. It's likely that Gonzalez's days of being a fantasy contributor across all formats has come to an end.
Free-agent outfielder Carlos Gonzalez, who is 34 years old, intends to play in 2020. Gonzalez, a three-time All-Star with the Rockies, spent his first season away from Colorado last year with the Indians and Cubs and struggled in his 45 games. Car-Go hit just .200/.289/.283 with three home runs and 10 RBI in 145 at-bats. He was always a much better hitter at Coors Field than on the road in his time with the Rockies, and he likely has little left to offer fantasy owners if he signs with a team and makes their major league roster. At this point in his career, Gonzalez would be nothing more than a platoon bat in a corner outfield spot.
The Chicago Cubs designated outfielder Carlos Gonzalez for assignment on Saturday. If he clears waivers, the Cubs would like for him to go to the minors. CarGo was even worse in Chicago than he was in his brief time in Cleveland, hitting .175/.306/.300 with a homer and three RBI in just 15 games. He's a combined .200/.289/.283 on the year with three homers and 10 RBI in 45 games and might not make it back to the big leagues at this point in Chicago or with another team. There's no need to keep him rostered, even in the deepest of leagues.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Carlos Gonzalez will be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. Gonzalez has seen plenty of playing time since joining the Cubs roster. However, the extra at-bats have not helped him at the plate. Gonzalez has only six hits over his last 15 games. He'll bat seventh and play right field versus righty Walker Lockett. There should be better fantasy options available than Gonzalez on Thursday.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is back in the starting lineup for the second straight game. He'll bat fifth and play right field versus righty Jeff Hoffman on Tuesday. Gonzalez didn't do much with the bat during his time with the Cleveland Indians this season. However, he'll have a great chance to do damage against Hoffman on Tuesday. Hoffman carries a 7.20 ERA into this contest, so the Cubs offense should be able to score some runs in this one.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Carlos Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with a walk in his first game with his new squad. Gonzalez also made a highlight reel catch in the top of the seventh inning to help protect a Cubs lead. The Cubs are looking to catch lightning in a bottle with the veteran outfielder, but fantasy owners should wait and see how he does before picking him up from the waiver wire.
The Chicago Cubs have promoted outfielder Carlos Gonzalez to the big league roster. Gonzalez signed with the Cubs this past week and got some at-bats for Triple-A Iowa. Gonzalez will start on Monday in right field and bat fifth. The former All-Star was only hitting .210 with a pair of home runs in 117 at-bats with the Indians before being cut loose by them last week. Although he is in a better lineup than the Indians, its unlikely that Car-Go will receive enough playing time to have an impact in fantasy leagues.
The Chicago Cubs are signing free-agent outfielder Carlos Gonzalez to a minor league deal on Thursday, according to a source. Gonzalez was released by the Indians and would give the Cubs some outfield depth if he's called up. The 33-year-old Venezuelan hit just .210/.282/.276 with two homers and seven RBI in 105 at-bats for the Tribe before they released him. At this point in his career, Car-Go doesn't have much left in the tank and won't be much of a fantasy option if he's called up to the Cubbies.
Cleveland Indians outfielder Carlos Gonzalez has been designated for assignment on Wednesday, opening a roster spot for catcher Eric Haase on the 25-man roster. Gonzalez hit two home runs and drove in 7 RBI to go along with a .210 batting average through 117 plate appearances with the Indians. The 33-year-old also struck out 33 times and did not provide much help to the Indians lineup. Gonzalez should be avoided in all fantasy formats.
