6:52pm: The Mets are pushing hard for Gomez, tweets Yahoos Tim Brown.

6:43pm: Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Mets and Brewers have talked recently and not about Gerardo Parra (All Twitter links). The Mets do like Gomez, he says, but an insider tells him theres nothing at the finish line yet. Sherman wonders if the Mets value the remaining one and a half years on Gomezs deal to part with Zack Wheeler, whom Milwaukee likes quite a bit. Sherman also notes that the Brewers like Wilmer Flores, though he wouldnt be the main piece in any deal.

Rosenthal tweets that the Mets are working hard to add a bat, but he was told earlier that the price to acquire him is steep.

6:36pm: The Mets and Brewers have indeed had recent talks regarding Gomez, according to FOXs Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi (Twitter link), but no deal appears close at this time. The Mets are still looking at other hitters as well, per the FOX Sports duo.

6:31pm: The Mets have asked the Brewers about Carlos Gomez in recent talks with Milwaukee, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post (via Twitter). The Mets want him, says Puma.

6:10pm: The Mets are very close to pulling off a big trade, Marc Carig of Newsday reports on Twitter. There is momentum towards a deal for a big bat, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets. Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com first connected New York to the chase for a big bat earlier today. Adam Rubin of ESPN.com tweeted that the team was working on a fan-pleasing trade.

7:20pm: ESPNs Jerry Crasnick tweets that the Brewers have been asking the Mets for one of the teams top four starters (referring to Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard, Jacob deGrom and Steven Matz). He adds that it might be tough to finalize the deal without Milwaukee dropping its asking price.

Rosenthal tweets that one scenario which has been discussed would send Wheeler and Flores to Milwaukee.

Wheeler and Flores for Gomez is a done deal apparently.

Wow what a good deal for NY

I like it. We desperately needed a leadoff hitter, and Lagares has a bad elbow and probably needs TJ. And we didnt give up any prospects.

Mets might want to take Flores out of the game soon. Don't want him to mess the deal up by getting hurt.

Excuse me, If I were the Brewers I'd back out. That and they may have just now found out that Wheeler hasn't actually played this year

It's not official because they want to see Wheelers medical reports first.
