Jonny Gomes is looking to extend his career in MLB, only now he’ll be doing so as a coach.

Gomes, who had a 13-year MLB career and was a favorite among his teammates and fans at many of his stops, has taken a job as a hitting coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks’ rookie-level team. The Tampa Bay Times’ Marc Topkin reported the news on Thursday:
