NEW YORK -- On the one-year anniversary of his on-field tears, New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores preferred to think of a happier anniversary that is still two days away.
“I try to forget that moment,” Flores said before Friday’s game against the Colorado Rockies. “… The day that I like to talk about is the 31st.”
The Mets believed they had a deal to send Flores and Zack Wheeler to the Milwaukee Brewers for outfielder Carlos Gomez on July 29, 2015.
