There is crying in baseball.

There is no trade of Zack Wheeler and Wilmer Flores for Milwaukee’s Carlos Gomez.

Flores wound up in tears at shortstop Wednesday night in one of the most bizarre scenes ever on a major league field. He became emotional because word spread like wildfire that he had been traded for Gomez.

Only the Mets.

The Mets kept him in the game, manager Terry Collins said, because there was no trade.

Afterward, general manager Sandy Alderson adamantly said the trade not only did not happen, but that the talks with the Brewers were dead.

“I’m coming to work [Thursday],’’ Flores said to reporters, his eyes still filled with tears long after the Mets’ 7-3 loss to the Padres at Citi Field.

You had to feel for Flores.

In the ninth, Ruben Tejada hit for Flores because he was an emotional wreck.

“This is the craziest thing I have ever seen in a baseball game,’’ Collins said.

That’s a lifetime of baseball.

The deal fell apart over medical issues, long after the 24,804 fans were chanting “Wil-mer! Wil-mer!’’ at Citi Field.

Long after some fans were chanting for Gomez.

This was a night Lucas Duda hit three home runs and it was a side note.

Gomez is batting .375 with runners in scoring position, and the Mets need more clutch hitting. Alderson was adamant the deal was as dead as a doornail, however. The Post confirmed the Mets pulled out of the deal because of concerns over Gomez’s hip, but later super agent Scott Boras said his player was healthy.

“There is no trade,’’ Alderson said. “Unfortunately, social media, etcetera, got ahead of the facts. It may have had an adverse effect on [Flores]. I’ve addressed personally with the player involved. It’s one of those things that happen.

“We could have pulled him and contributed to the speculation. He was left in the game because we are trying to win the game and there was no deal. One of those conundrums where there is no right answer. I have personally apologized to him.’’

Said Flores: “During the game, I heard I was getting traded and I got emotional. When I came in, they told me there was no trade.

“I was sad,’’ Flores added. “I’ve been a Met forever, all my teammates are here, that’s why I got emotional. There is no deal, they told me. I heard from the fans. There was the rumor I was going to get traded, the fans were cheering for me and that made me emotional,’’ he said of his seventh-inning at-bat. “It was difficult, I was thinking a lot out there, but nothing happened.’’

Said an exasperated Collins: “There’s a lot of B.S. out there. A lot of it.

“I told [Flores], ‘You got a game to play, let’s play baseball.’ Everybody has got a phone, everybody’s on it, I don’t know why anyone comes anymore. Just sit at home and watch games on TV and on their cellphones. I got guys in the dugout reporting this thing and there is no deal.

“Here’s a kid in the middle of the game, everybody in the ballpark thinks he’s traded — but him, because I haven’t said anything to him. How would you react? You guys think these guys are stone-cold robots, they’re not, they are human beings who have emotions and this kid is upset. He’s sad. He’s been a Met his whole life.

“You guys think this game is easy to play, play it with [stuff] like that going on during the game,’’ Collins ranted. “I feel terrible for Wilmer, as you guys know there is not a finer kid in that clubhouse than him. Hopefully we can move past this. We have another game to play [Thursday].’’

This was a “Who’s On First?” skit.

“Somebody came to me,’’ Collins said, “and said Wilmer is crying and I said, ‘Why?’

“ ‘Well, he got traded.’

“ ‘For who? For what?’ ” Collins countered. “If those things were a done deal, somebody would have called me and said, ‘Take him out of the game.’ Nobody called me.

“You got to go out and play.

“It’s all part of the growing process here.’’

Yes. Only the Mets.
