According to Impactico Deportivo, citing the player’s family, the Mets may have told OF Carlos Gomez that he is not allowed to play in this year’s Caribbean World Series, as he had been invited to do.

…i e-mailed the Mets, but have not been sent back an official responsethe best i can gather, from people connected to the team, is that the Mets were never going to allow gomez to play more than X number of games this winter, regardless of whether he is or isn’t being discussed in a deal for santanaof course, what else would you expect them to say

…typically, when this sort of thing happens, my first reaction is to assume the player has been traded…but, there always seems to end up being some other explanationunless you’re M’s OF Adam Jones, of course

…by the way, i posted this story last night, but pulled it because i wanted to do a bit of research first…sorry if its removal caused any sort of frenzy…but, you know, better safe than sorry
