Reds OF Gomes free to sign elsewhere

CINCINNATI — Outfielder Jonny Gomes became a free agent after the Cincinnati Reds did not tender him a contract. Gomes, 30, hit .267 with 20 homers and 51 RBIs this year. He started the season at Triple-A Louisville and was brought up May 22.

The Reds, who can still sign Gomes, offered contracts to two pitchers eligible for arbitration, right-handers Jared Burton and Nick Masset.
