Title: A-Gon

Free agent Alex Gonzalez reportedly has a three-year, $15 million offer on the table, likely from either the White Sox or the Reds.
The Blue Jays have also been talking to Gonzalez, but they didn't make the offer. If Gonzalez can get this kind of deal, Julio Lugo at four years and $32 million would look very attractive. Of course, if it's the White Sox that sign Gonzalez, the same teams that are considering Gonzalez right now would likely covet Juan Uribe. Uribe is about as good defensively and has more offensive potential. Should the Reds get Gonzalez, Brandon Phillips would stay at second base. It'd make the decision to re-sign Juan Castro look awfully redundant.

Good for Gonzo if he is indeed actually getting a 3 year contract. I know he was looking for a multi year deal but he wasn't going to get that from Boston. If he does move on, I wish him the best.

I have heard that he is headed to the White Sox. Nothing official.

I love Gonzo. I'd be sad to lose him.

good for him, that means Redsox has to concentrate on Lugo since Gonzo's going to another team

I was really hoping The Red Sox would re-sign Alex.
sidthekid87 - November 17, 2006 03:19 AM (GMT)
me too..so the jays could sign Lugo
KeepTheFaith - November 17, 2006 03:24 AM (GMT)
haha you Jays fans want Lugo so bad
sidthekid87 - November 17, 2006 03:29 AM (GMT)
I know....if we got him..Vernon could become expendable for the right price...

Alex Gonzalez is believed to be close to signing a three-year contract with the Reds, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports.
It sounds like Rosenthal is just going off Thursday's Boston Globe report, but with the added knowledge that the White Sox aren't currently in the running for Gonzalez. The Globe reported that Gonzalez had a three-year, $15 million offer on the table, likely from the Reds or the White Sox. If the Reds sign him, they'll have perhaps the best middle-infield defense in the NL. However, it'll be another blow to an offense that GM Wayne Krivsky has taken a lot away from since his July deal with the Nationals.

Not the Reds!!! We just signed Castro.

JP has decided that Hill will be a SS next year because the Lugo and Gonzo contracts are getting so high. I was hoping we could get Gonzalez for 3M or so for a couple of years, but I guess not.
