On Wednesday, the Mets agreed to trade Wilmer Flores and Zack Wheeler to the Brewers in exchange for Carlos Gomez. While word of the trade began to circulate as the Mets were taking on the Padres, it’s obvious Flores was made aware he would be on the move.
In the bottom of the seventh inning, fans at Citi Field gave Flores a nice ovation. Many were probably surprised to see him on the field for the top of the eighth.
