Gomez not traded/Flores cries/Alderson angry/Haudricourt confused/Melvin nonplussed/Gomez=Not Injured/Scott Boras MAD/Mets are lying liars

[MrTPlush]

So now we know Flores was crying because he won't leave the Mets.

[abqbrewer]

Uh now Alderson is saying there is no trade.

 

he has to say that in case Wheeler medicals don;t please Milw.

 

Most GMs will just be mum on the subject...He just came out and flat out said it won't happen. There might be something to this.

 

Good point. Though Hardicourt still saying done deal....then again, the fact that Flores is still playing is odd.

I would trade Bernie for Mr. Met.

WOW!

 

So what am I supposed to do with the Wilmer shirsey I ordered?

[brwrsfan]

Well [expletive deleted by moderator]. It's gotta be wheelers arm right??? This is crazy. Puts the players in a really really awkward spot too.

Sounds like a 3 way trade to me. Which would suck if the Mets get more for Gomez than we got for him.

[markedman5]

@Ken_Rosenthal: Most logical explanation is that #Brewers were uncomfortable with Wheeler’s medical coming off Tommy John. Players were agreed upon.

I am confused by the comparison of Wheeler to Fiers. Wheeler has had an ERA of 3.4 and 3.5 both seasons as a 23 and 24 year old. Fiers has a 3.9 ERA as a 30 year old. Wheeler was a top 15 prospect before getting to the majors and Fiers never was a top prospect. Wheeler is coming off an injury but his upside is the highest of any pitcher on this staff. Where are the similarities?

 

Flores looks a lot better when I see his minor league stats. He was rushed into the majors but has been consistently in the top 100 prospect range.

Martin Maldonado twitted photo of guys saying good-bye to Gomez, and now Flores out of game.

 

Done deal.

[abqbrewer]

Or not. I quit.

[SRB]

Just when I was starting to like the trade.

 

Now we are probably not even going to trade Gomez, or trade him for an even lesser return (if you're Melvin how do you ask for more than Wheeler/Flores type return at this point?)

 

[jerichoholicninja]

Wasn't the Papelbon to Milwaukee a "done deal" too?

Doug has been reading your posts, so he pulled Carlos back...

[Oxy]

Did Alderson say there is no trade? Or did he say Gomez will not play for the Mets?

OMG. This whole situation sums up the Brewers for the last 12 months.

Happy if this is not happening.

[homer]

Wonder if Alderson was ticked about the trade getting leaked?

[And That]

Somebody got some 'splaining to do.

[Invader3K]

Wonder if Alderson was ticked about the trade getting leaked?

 

That makes no sense at all.

 

My guess is that the Wheeler physicals looked bad, but who really knows at this point?

[MrTPlush]

Happy if this is not happening.

 

Till we have accept a worse offer. Don't be so happy yet.

[And That]

Did Alderson specify which Gomez was not going to be a Met? Maybe he was talking about Hector.

So they did a physical in 20 minutes?

Now you call St Louis quickly since Holiday is done.
