Another trade almost gets consumed, as the Mets are on the verge of trading IF Wilmer Flores and P Zack Wheeler to Milwaukee for OF Carlos Gomez. The rumor of the deal sweeps through the stands at Citi Field, and Flores breaks into tears on the field as he does not want to leave a team that has grown into a contender. The trade falls through, however, and the Mets lose, 7 – 3, to San Diego in spite of three homers by Lucas Duda.

It’s another day of deals as the trading deadline is getting nearer. The biggest name to move is P Cole Hamels, who goes from the Phillies to the Rangers along with reliever Jake Diekman in return for P Matt Harrison and five prospects. The Dodgers land a couple of big names, as P Mat Latos and OF/1B Mike Morse come over from Miami; however, by the time this trade is finalized a day later, it will have turned into a three-team extravaganza involving 13 players. The Royals also continue their fine-tuning, sending P Joe Blanton, who is now supernumerary after the acquisition of Johnny Cueto a few days ago, to the Pirates for cash considerations.
