Carlos Gomez, who the Mets reportedly balked at acquiring on Wednesday night — supposedly due to a hip condition — has been traded to the Astros.
Gomez will go to Houston along with Mike Fiers in exchange for four prospects, one of whom — Brett Phillips — was ranked as Houston’s No. 1 prospect and the No. 21 prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America.
The deal is official, with the medicals having already been cleared.
Thoughts:
This looks bad for the Mets.
