Mets acquire OF Carlos Gomez from Brewers
NYM have acquired Carlos Gomez from MIL for righty Zack Wheeler and INF Wilmer Flores

Gomez started with the Mets, then was traded to the Twins as part of the 2008 Johan Santana blockbuster,
and spent 2 seasons in MIN and before being flipped to MIL in a one-for-one swap that sent J.J. Hardy to MIN.[/quote]

Or not... Mets GM Sandy Alderson: No trade for Brewers’ Carlos Gomez
Apparently, the rumor mill jumped the gun on this one. Even Mets SS Wilmer Flores, who was supposed to be part of the deal, thought he had been traded to the Brewers and wasn't happy about it.

From Sports Illustrated: The New York Post’s Joel Sherman first reported the deal, which would send Mets righthander Zack Wheeler and infielder Wilmer Flores to the Brewers. The trade was pending physicals.

After the Mets lost to the San Diego Padres 7–3 at Citi Field, Sandy Alderson said the trade would not be happening.

“There is no trade,” Alderson told reporters. “Unfortunately, social media, etc., got ahead of the facts and it may have had an adverse effect on one of the players rumored to be involved. It was an unfortunate situation; it’s something I’ve addressed personally with a player involved.”
"A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort." - Herm Albright

Red Sox hire former Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski

BOS announced they have hired Dave Dombrowski as their new president of baseball operations.
Ben Cherington was given the opportunity to stay on as GM, but he’s chosen to step down instead.
He will, however, assist Dombrowski in the transition process.

Dombrowski made an abrupt and unexpected exit from the Tigers’ front office following the July 31
non-waiver trade deadline, ending a 14-year tenure as the DET general manager.

Pirates re-aquired OF Travis Snider from Baltimore after he was DFA'd. Signed him to a minor league contract. Wouldn't be surprised to see him among the September call-ups.
