New York Mets Player Wilmer Flores Cries During Game After Trade Rumor
“When they called me into the office I thought they were going to explain what happened yesterday”, said Gomez, who spoke just after news of the trade to the Astros broke.
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson issued a statement scuttling the deal.
“It was a big trade”, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. The trade wasn’t yet official so Flores remained in the game, even as reports circulated that it was all but a done deal. Those numbers are lower than his career averages, but he is a two time All-Star and Gold Glove victor and should help solidify center field immediately. The 29-year-old Gomez has a. 751 OPS in 74 games this season, missing two weeks with a hamstring injury in April and a handful off games in June with hip and groin soreness. “It was tough with Carlos”.
“I think our guys, the names who supposedly are out there, have done an excellent job of doing their job at 7 o’clock every night, and doing their jobs in the clubhouse”, Counsell said. So the ‘Stros will get at least another full season from him before they part ways.
Gomez’s agent Scott Boras said there is nothing wrong with Gomez’s hip.
The Houston Astros acquired Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers from the Milwaukee Brewers for Domingo Santana, Brett Phillips, Josh Hader and Adrian Houser. Additional, Houston received slot #76 in the 2015-16 worldwide pool. Phillips, 21, was a prized piece in the trade for Milwaukee – so much so that Melvin said he was “supposedly untouchable”. 249 with 10 home runs and 40 RBIs in 92 games for the Mets this year. The southpaw is ranked as the Astros’ fourteenth-best prospect, and has seen an increase in velocity over the last few years. “Unfortunately social media, etc., got ahead of the facts and it may have had an adverse affect on one of the players rumoured to be involved”. Most of these fans know that Wilmer’s about to get traded. Looks like Flores will get a second chance with the Mets after all. Zack Wheeler and Wilmer Flores are still Mets. Alderson previously said team doctors felt the health risk was too great. “They were fine with it”. “You feel emotional because there are a lot of good things I’ve been through in this organization”. “Everyone has to make those decisions”.
USA Today reported that the Brewers had concerns about Wheeler’s physical, but the team still plans to trade Gomez before the Friday deadline. I have all my teammates here.
Now with the additon of Gomez, one of the top bats available on the trade market this summer, Houston is pegged as the favorite to claim the AL West. The Astros held a one-game lead over the Angels for first place heading into Thursday’s games.
