The man who helped win free agency for NFL and NBA players is seeking the same for college athletes_ by [Alissa Greenberg](https://time.com/author/alissa-greenberg/) ## Alissa Greenberg Jul 30, 2015 5:41 AM UTC by [Alissa Greenberg](https://time.com/author/alissa-greenberg/) ## Alissa Greenberg Jul 30, 2015 5:41 AM UTC Wednesday’s game between the New York Mets and the San Diego Padres was nothing if not [dramatic](https://twitter.com/Lahlahlindsey/status/626565671099437057). Aside from the Padres trouncing the Mets 7-3, rumors that shortstop Wilmer Flores would be traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in return for All-Star outfielder Carlos Gomez reached Flores while he was playing. In the smartphone era, such news travels fast, and it wasn’t long before the stadium was giving Flores a standing ovation as he came up to bat. Then cameras caught Flores, teary eyed, as he soldiered on playing for the team he thought was sending him away. > [](https://twitter.com/JimmyTraina/status/626570478493298688) > [](https://twitter.com/Lahlahlindsey/status/626569545298374656) In the end, though, the rumors were only just that, as Mets manager Sandy Alderson told reporters that “social media got ahead of the facts” and there would be no such trade. Later reports indicated that the deal fell apart in the final stages, explaining why Flores was left in the game when traded players are usually pulled immediately. > [](https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/626586419528646656) ### Top 10 Most Memorable Moments in World Series History  Sept. 29, 1954: Willie Mays of the New York Giants makes “The Catch” against the Clevland Indians in Game 1 -- considered one of the most spectacular catches in World Series history.
