Carlos Gomez is on a very reasonable contract, but apparently the Mets didn't want to pay all of the remaining money owed.
Last night, the Brewers and Mets almost made a trade. A big trade. According to about a trillion reports, Carlos Gomez was headed to New York in exchange for pitcher Zack Wheeler and infielder Wilmer Flores.
A couple of hours later, the deal was dead. What happened? At first, there were rumors that the Brewers got Wheeler's medical report -- the right hander is in the middle of a recovery from Tommy John surgery -- and saw something they didn't like.
