Thoughts on Carlos Gomez

And so the Carlos Gomez Era has ended in the city where his Major League career took off. Gomez, who was designated for assignment prior to this evening's game at Minnesota, will head back to Houston before embarking on the next chapter of his career.
When the Astros traded Brett Phillips, Josh Hader, Domingo Santana, and Adrian Houser for Gomez and Mike Fiers on July 30, 2015 it signified a shift in how the Astros did business.
