A source confirmed early Thursday morning that the Mets nixed the deal due to concern over Gomez's right hip. The former -- and no longer future -- Met spent two weeks on the disabled list in April with a strained right hamstring and has been dealing with a sore right hip since at least early May, when he skipped three straight games in an effort to quiet the issue.
The hip issues flared up again between June 10-21, when Gomez sat out nine of 12 games, but had been essentially a non-issue since. He has played in all but one of the Brewers' games since then.
