This was not normal, Flores was still playing. It was highly unusual. I cannot remember a trade breaking and falling apart while the player was on the field. Secondly, to dismiss this as a failed medical is also naive. Gomez is completely healthy. His agent is adamant he's healthy and he's playing today. There was no one else going to the Mets so it's not dense to think there could be more to this story than is being let on.
