Gonzalez: No Agreement In Place With Red Sox

the two sides have yet to even delve into specific figures, despite word
that he asked for, and received, approximately $161MM over eight years.
"We discussed the trade, but we didn't reach any agreement, and we didn't
negotiate numbers," Gonzalez explained. "The only thing I have for sure is
the contract that I had already signed with the Padres, and what I can tell
you is that over the course of the season we're going to negotiate to reach
an agreement."
Left unasked was what, specifically, led to the impasse that nearly derailed
the trade last week, but Gonzalez's quotes leave open the possibility that it
centered on expectations of years rather than salary. When asked if eight
years, $161MM was his goal, Gonzalez stayed mum, saying, "Look, the market
changes every day in baseball. Right now I don't know what to tell you
because the team could use it to its advantage, so the day that [the Red Sox]
want to sit down and discuss my contract, we'll happily do it, and that day
we'll say what we want."
Gonzalez gives no indication of discontent with his new team in the interview
, insisting that he is "enthusiastic" about both the upcoming season and
reports of how his power will play in Fenway Park. However, his portrayal of
the negotiations tempers expectations, at least for the time being, about
the dawn of a Gonzalez/Crawford decade in Boston.
