Contract Value Index (CVI)
The Rays continue to demonstrate their organizational wizardry with Yoendrys Gomez's $0.8M deal, earning a solid B CVI that exemplifies Tampa Bay's ability to extract maximum value from undervalued arms. At this price point, Gomez represents the quintessential low-risk, high-upside gamble that has become the Rays' calling card — a serviceable starter who can provide 150+ innings while the organization's elite pitching development staff works their magic. The one-year structure is vintage Tampa Bay, giving them flexibility to either retain a breakout candidate or let him walk if he doesn't progress, all while paying bottom-tier starter money for a pitcher who projects to deliver replacement-level to slightly above-average production. This deal perfectly aligns with the Rays' competitive window strategy, where they need cheap, reliable innings from the back of their rotation while allocating resources to impact players elsewhere on the roster. Given the Rays' track record of developing pitchers and their perpetual need for cost-controlled starters, Gomez's contract represents exactly the type of shrewd move that keeps Tampa Bay competitive despite their payroll constraints.
Performance Analysis
Yoendrys Gomez grades as an above average performer among MLB starting pitchers, earning a B Performance grade. He carries a 4.86 ERA (above the league average of 4.20, an area for improvement) and a 1.39 WHIP across 76.0 innings pitched with a 8.5 K/9 rate. His 3-3 record with 1 saves provides context on team support and run prevention. A 8.5 K/9 rate indicates above-average swing-and-miss stuff. As a player entering his prime window at 26, Yoendrys is a key contributor for the Rays. With only 27 games on record, this grade carries a smaller sample size caveat.
