Red Sox sign Gomes, The Boston Red Sox have signed outfielder Jonny Gomes to a two-year contract through the 2014 season, the team said on Saturday.

Financial terms were not announced. Boston media reported Gomes, who has played in the Major Leagues for 10 years, will earn $10 million over two years.

"I see him playing a lot of left field - we think his bat fits well in the lineup, in the ballpark," Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington told Major League Baseball's website.

Gomes, 32, played for the Oakland Athletics last season, hitting .262 with 18 home runs and 47 runs batted in 99 games for the American League West champions. (Reporting by Gene Cherry in Salvo, North Carolina; Editing by Julian Linden)
