Sources: Mets acquire Carlos Gomez from Brewers

The New York Mets on Wednesday night reached agreement Brian McCann Jersey to acquire Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez as the trading deadline approached, sources told Yahoo Sports.

A game behind the Washington Nationals in the NL East and feeling the momentum of their first competitive season in seven years, the Mets have upgraded an offense that has scored the fewest runs in the game.

The cost for Gomez is expected Ed Davis Jersey to be 25-year-old right-hander Zack Wheeler, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, and 23-year-old infielder Wilmer Flores.

The deal had not been announced as of mid-evening Wednesday, as the teams continued to review medical records.

The Mets acquired Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson from the Atlanta Braves at the end of last week, but still sought an impact hitter. Gomez generally qualifies, though he’s not posted the same numbers this season as he did the two prior. A high-energy player who plays a daring center field, Gomez is batting .266 with a .332 on-base percentage in 73 games for the Brewers.

The Brewers sought young Dan Boyle Jersey controllable pitching. Wheeler, in spite of his current rehabilitation, fits that description. He is 25, had a big fastball before elbow surgery, and should be ready to pitch for the Brewers early next season.

Gomez, 29, was signed by the Mets out of the Dominican Republic 13 years ago. The Mets traded him and three others to the Minnesota Twins for Johan Santana in 2008. The Twins traded him to Milwaukee a year later for J.J. Hardy.

A late bloomer, Gomez became http://www.authenticbruinsshop.com/authentic-47-torey-krug-jersey.html an All-Star in 2013, when he batted .284 with 24 home runs. He was better in 2014, when he improved his on-base percentage to .356.

He can be a free agent after the 2016 season. He is due the remainder of $8 million this season and $9 million next season.
