UPDATE: The deal is official. The Astros will also receive slot #76 in the 2015-2016 international pool as part of the trade.

7:33 p.m. ET: Carlos Gomez was nearly dealt to the Mets last night before the deal fell apart, but it didn’t take long for the Brewers to find a new suitor. According to CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman, the Astros have agreed to acquire Gomez and right-hander Mike Fiers from the Brewers. By the way, Heyman hears that Gomez has already passed the Astros’ medical review.

FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal reports that Milwaukee will receive outfielders Brett Phillips, Domingo Santana, right-hander Adrian Houser, and left-hander Josh Hader.

After acquiring left-hander Scott Kazmir from the Athletics last week, it’s clear that the Astros are all in. Gomez has seen a dip in production at the plate this year, but he’s still one of the best defensive center fielders in the game and is under contract for $9 million next season. Fiers, 30, has posted a 3.89 ERA over 21 starts this season and should make for another solid addition to Houston’s rotation. He’s not arbitration-eligible for the first time until after the 2016 season, so this move isn’t just about this season.

The Mets reportedly backed out of the trade for Gomez last night due to concerns about his hip, but there was a report out of Milwaukee this morning which stated that the deal broke down primarily because of financial issues. That looks pretty accurate at the moment.
