Last year, the Mets seemingly had a trade in place for Carlos Gomez sending Citi Field abuzz, or in this day and age, I should say a-twitter.  Apparently, the only person who was unaware that a trade happened was the Mets manager Terry Collins who kept a crying Wilmer Flores in the field.

As we would subsequently discover, the trade would fall apart due to Gomez’s hip.  As a result, Flores and Zack Wheeler would remain New York Mets.  In the next game Flores would play, he would do this:

Today, Brandon Nimmo finds himself in a similar situation.  He was supposed to be part of the trade that sent Jay Bruce to the Mets.  As one of the Mets minor leaguers in the trade failed a physical, the deal had to be reworked.  The resulting deal was the Mets sending Dilson Herrera to the Reds instead of Nimmo.

As we saw with Wilmer Flores, the only possible result to this fiasco is Nimmo hitting a game winning home run tonight to beat the New York Yankees.
