    Report: Astros to acquire Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers from Brewers

    Carlos Gomez was nearly dealt to the Mets last night before the deal fell apart, but it didn’t take long for the Brewers to find a new suitor. Check out this doozy of a deal, which we’re assuming is pending medicals: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2...ire-carlos-gomez-and-mike-fiers-from-brewers/

    I'm guessing Velasquez, Singleton, two or three minor leaguers...also maybe Preston Tucker

    Fiers has a great K rate, but he is also a big time fly ball pitcher. Certainly not as good as some pitchers mentioned.

    Gomez is a hitting Jake Marisnick, would love to add him.

    I doubt Tucker, but the first two you mention wouldn't surprise me at all

    Gomez being controlled next year is worth a LOT

    Fiers doesn't look like anything special and Gomez had two good years in '13 and '14 but not so much this year.

    So hopefully we did not give up Phillips or Appel...

    Phillips gone is sad but the rest of it I don't really care too much about.

    We still have a ton left.

    not bad at all! I'm higher on Derek Fisher than Brett Phillips. Santana was meh these past two years. Hader was pretty good in A ball last year, not so much this year
