The Brewers and Mets have agreed on a trade that will send Carlos Gomez to the Mets for Zack Wheeler.
The #Mets get their bat: Land #Brewers CF Carlos Gomez for Zack Wheeler and Wilmer Flores, reports @MartinoNYDN

The Mets were looking to add an outfield bat, and it looks like they have found their man.
UPDATE: No trade ever transpired between New York and Milwaukee, so it looks like everyone got a little bit ahead of themselves.
This includes Wilmer Flores, who was crying his eyes out live on national television when he had apparently been told he was being traded.
This is all very bizarre. From the trade being reported just about everywhere, to Flores crying in front of the whole world, to Alderson blaming the entire social media world for putting the cart before the horse. Just a very strange situation.
