The Mets have been making a surprise run for the playoffs this season, but it has been clear throughout the season they needed more bats to supplement their dynamic pitching staff. Rumors centered around the two CarGo's, the Rockies' Carlos Gonzalez, and the Brewers' Carlos Gomez.

Or at least, he used to be the Brewers' CarGo. The Mets pulled a trigger on the cheaper of the two players Wednesday, adding Gomez in a deal that gives them much-needed speed and athleticism, not to mention arguably the best bat in the lineup. What should Fantasy owners think about the deal?

Mets receive OF Carlos Gomez

A classic late-bloomer, Gomez has developed from a light-hitting speedster in Minnesota to an all-around threat in Milwaukee. Coming into this season, he has averaged 22 homers and 37 steals per game over the previous three seasons, numbers that have made him one of the best players in Fantasy.

His production has dipped this season, however, as he has battled a serious of leg injuries. First, he hit the DL in April with a right hamstring injury, then he missed a few games in May with a hip injury. A few more leg and hip issues kept him out of the lineup in June, but he hasn't missed time as a result of any leg issue since June 23, per ProSportsTransactions.com. That's the good news.

The bad news is, it might still be effecting him. Gomez has stolen just one base in 29 games since June 23. Gomez is a fine hitter, with a .250/.364/.410 line in that same time, but he needs to be a power/speed threat to live up to his potential. And the move in home parks might not help him in the other half of the equation either.

Miller Park doesn't get much credit as a hitter's park, because it doesn't boost run scoring as much as, say, Chase Field or The Ballpark at Arlington, let alone Coors. However, Miller has been one of the better parks when it comes to boosting power, with a park factor of 128 for right-handed batters. And that effect has showed up in his game.

For his career, Gomez homers once every 37.1 plate appearances, a rate that has jumped to once every 24.4 at Miller. Even accounting for the fact that he has only developed power in recent years, that is a huge discrepancy, and it shows up in his season lines:

2012: .793 OPS at home, one HR every 19.2 PA; .745 OPS on road, one HR every 30.1 PA

2013: .937 OPS at home, one HR every 18.2 PA; .765 OPS on road, one HR every 35.2 PA

2014: .907 OPS at home, one HR every 24.5 PA; .765 OPS on road, one HR every 32.6 PA

In that time, he has 39 home runs at Miller Park and 28 everywhere else. Citi Field has actually become a better park for homers over the last few years since they moved the fences in, but Gomez is likely losing out here. Given the slower pace he is already on, it might be fair to downgrade his Fantasy value a bit.

That's not to say you are dropping him, or looking to sell him for the first warm body you find. Gomez's upside is still sky-high, and the further removed from those leg injuries, the closer he should get to that power/speed combo you were expecting. It's not like he's moving from Coors to Petco Park, or something; this doesn't torpedo his value.

Plus, you can't measure the intangible boost a player can receive from getting traded into a playoff race. Gomez should be just fine in New York. 

In Juan Lagares, the Mets have one of the better young center fielders in baseball, even if his talents have gone mostly unnoticed nationally. Lagares doesn't have much of a bat, but he is a true Gold Glove-caliber player, who actually took the award home last season.

Unfortunately, neither his glove nor his bat has been quite up to the task this season, as his triple-slash line -- never particularly impressive -- has tumbled all the way to .256/.281/.336. Lagares has a lingering elbow injury to blame for much of his struggles, and the acquisition of Gomez could allow the Mets to rest him without losing too much. It will be interesting to see if Flores ends up shut down to heal the elbow, now that top prospect Michael Conforto has presumably helped steady the corner spot opposite Curtis Granderson.

This move might end up helping Conforto, despite initially making the outfield seem a bit more crowded. 

Brewers receive SP Zack Wheeler, SS Wilmer Flores

This move is all about the upside for the Brewers. Flores can slide in at any of the non-1B infield positions, and the Brewers are hoping that the 23-year-old can find some of his upside. He's got pop -- we know that -- as he has clubbed 10 homers this season after combining for 19 between the majors and minors last season.

However, we don't know what else he can do. He doesn't strike out much (13.6 percent strikeout rate for his career), but that hasn't led to the type of batting averages you would hope for. He has just a .261 BABIP, and a 17.4 percent infield fly rate and relatively low groundball rate make that look pretty sustainably low. However, the move to Miller park could give him exactly the kind of power boost Gomez has received from it. With that in mind, Flores might be worth a look in mixed leagues for his shortstop eligibility.

Wheeler is the big prize here. Or at least, he could be. Right now, he's still a long way away from being cashed in. The Mets are moving on from the 25-year-old four months removed from Tommy John surgery, which means the Brewers won't get to see what they have in him until next spring.

What they have just might be a frontline starting pitcher, however. Wheeler pitched through elbow discomfort last season, but still struck out more than a batter per nine while posting a 3.54 ERA at 23. He has some control issues to work out, but Wheeler has true ace potential, with his strikeout rate and a groundball rate that jumped to 54.0 percent last season. Owners in keeper leagues might want to scoop and stash Wheeler, in case anyone in your league has forgotten about him.
