Carlos Gomez came to Houston on July 30th, 2015 as the centerpiece of six player trade that sent the Astros’ former Minor League Player of the Year Brett Phillips to Milwaukee along with outfielder Domingo Santana and pitchers Adrian Houser and Josh Hader. Houston also received starting pitcher Mike Fiers in the deal. The “Carlos Gomez” deal, as it was often referred as around the Astros fan base, didn’t come to fruition in quite the way the team had hoped. Fiers threw a no-hitter and Gomez finished the seasons with Houston’s rivals in Arlington.
