Why would you keep a player in a game (Flores) that you just traded ?
If he gets hurt, then what? Only the Mets.

[FlipsideRM]

Trade looks like it's getting axed.

Sandy Alderson insists "there is no trade. Unfortunately, social media got ahead of the facts." Says Gomez deal "will not transpire." #Mets

Anthony DiComo @AnthonyDiComo 1m1 minute ago
Alderson asked point blank multiple times if a trade with the Brewers will happen. "No. Nothing at all." Won't get into specifics of why.


Anthony DiComo @AnthonyDiComo 1m1 minute ago
Alderson adds that a trade with the Brewers "won't happen" before the deadline, either. Indicates #Mets are still looking for a bat.

he got scared to trade Wheeler.

i cant say i blame him to be honest.

[The Giant]

I had forgotten all about Wheeler.

He's another Tommy John guy, right? Man, they're everywhere.

yeah and he is a potential future cy young winner.

Brewers would have been smart as hell to make that trade. Wheeler has the stuff to be a teams ACE.

[The Giant]

My God, the Mets rotation will be sick next year, Bear.

Harvey
Degrom
Syndergaard
Matz
Wheeler

Look at all those studs, all young, under cost control.

dead deal

Maybe a money issue.
Apparently the Brewers are saying the Mets wanted them to take on some of his contract which is quite possible given their financial situation.
It was only then that the issue of his hip came up. Brewers say he's fine.
Mets might have some explaining to do if he is moved by tomorrow.

daner just PM'd me BREAKING NEWS:

Carlos Gomez to Albuquerque for Don Eladio Vuente

Pending physicals and some meth considerations

Jeff Wilpon more of a calcium carbonate kinda guy (for sour stomach)... so deal has possibility for breaking bad.

Multiple reporters said deal is done.

Social media just took it from there.

It's either on the reporters or their sources, it's not social media's fault that reporters said the deal was finalized.

NEW YORK -- Just before an airplane full of Brewers lifted off from San Francisco International Airport late Wednesday, Milwaukee center fielder Carlos Gomez was told that he had been traded to the Mets. Within hours the deal had shattered, and the night descended into a swirl of speculation.
Brewers manager Craig Counsell informed Gomez of a deal that -- pending medical approval -- would have sent him to New York in exchange for starting pitcher Zack Wheeler and infielder Wilmer Flores, who teared up upon learning of the trade during the Mets' 7-3 loss to the Padres. Several hours later, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson broke the news that "there is no trade."


A source confirmed early Thursday morning that the Mets nixed the deal due to concern over Gomez's right hip. The former -- and no longer future -- Met spent two weeks on the disabled list in April with a strained right hamstring and has been dealing with a sore right hip since at least early May, when he skipped three straight games in an effort to quiet the issue.
The hip issues flared up again between June 10-21, when Gomez sat out nine of 12 games, but had been essentially a non-issue since. He has played in all but one of the Brewers' games since then.
"Deals really aren't done until they're announced, but now I guess they get announced before they're announced," Brewers GM Doug Melvin said. "We had to exchange medical information, and there was a certain discomfort ... that didn't allow the deal to get done."

Lot of the Chickenshit DNA encoded in every Wilpon gene has unfortunately been cross-pollinated to Sandy Alderson over these years.

The Wilpon Mets always operate from a core of FEAR & MONEY... never from the core of what champions do: RISK TAKING & CREATIVE BOLDNESS.

Let's all remember, it was Doubleday that got Piazza to the Mets... not Freddy Coupon.

Jeff ten times the weenie his father is, so.....


ADDENDUM: The Mets are in the pitching position they are in thanks to Omar Minaya.

So Carlos Gomez signs with the Astros. The Mets are a joke.
Do you really think this was about a health issue? Astros don't think so.
It was about the Mets request for the Brewers to pay some of his contract and they flat out lied.
