It's been widely speculated that the Mets tried to get the Brewers to throw in cash for a portion of Gomez' 2016 salary. And, when they didn't, the Mets backed away citing concerns over his supposed hip condition. Seems entirely feasible that this has, once again, come down to the fact that the Wilpons are cheap.

I mean, the Astros refused to sign the #1 overall pick in the draft last year because of a concern of his medical history. But hey, Gomez passed their test with flying colors.
