Looking Back: The Carlos Gomez trade

It is possible that last year's deal between the Astros and Brewers will go down as one of the most one-sided trades ever.

At the end of July of 2015, the Brewers and Mets looked like they had a deal struck to send Carlos Gomez to New York. The Mets backed out, claiming an undisclosed injury for Gomez. Brewers GM Doug Melvin then swung a deal to send Carlos to Houston; he had to add starting pitcher Mike Fiers to the swap to get the Astros to include outfielder Brett Phillips, viewed by most as the centerpiece of the return for Milwaukee.
