San Diego Padres

Adrian Gonzalez said he'll be visiting Europe for about a month, so if the Padres are going to trade him - to the Red Sox or some other team - they'll have to track him down to tell him.

By Daniel Gettinger The National League Gold Glove winners were announced today and San Diego Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez won his second consecutive Gold Glove.   Despite heavy support from the Padres and the San Diego media, Kevin Kouzmanoff, who set the National League single-season record fo...

By Dave Cameron With a relatively weak free agent class, at least in terms of star power, there is more chatter than usual about potential trades this winter. And one constant name that surfaces in trade speculation is Adrian Gonzalez, the Padres star first baseman. With two years remaining on an unbeliev...

By Matt Clemente San Diego Padres More than any other hitter available on the free agent market, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez would be a perfect fit in the Mets lineup.  Due to salary limitations, San Diego will likely not be able to afford re-signing him when his contract ends after the end of the 2011 seas...

By jodes0405 But the Phillies sure are making it easier for me to pretend I'm watching my Padres in the World Series. They loaded the bases in the first inning but failed to get a run in. Utley homered with no men on base to right field in the top of the third to make it 1-0 Phillies. Adrian Gonzalez much?

By R.J. Anderson Adrian Gonzalez Yesterday, we talked about Jed Hoyer potentially taking post as the Padres new GM. Today, let’s look at two situations which he’ll need to address this off-season. Adrian Gonzalez One of the most talented (and underrated) players in the N.L. held a coming out party last seaso...

By Nick Carlo He showed that he can be a guy who hits around .275 with at least 10-15 home runs in a season.  I think that those numbers can help the Mets greatly.  They don't need to send all their top prospects to the Padres for Adrian Gonzalez when they already have a solid first basemen.

By jbox A lot of things have to shake out before Theo Epstein is introducing Adrian Gonzalez as a Red Sox at a news conference. But if the Red Sox can figure out a way to get him and every other chip falls into place for them this offseason, they could be taking joy rides in duck boats next fall.

By jbox He is due for a raise and probably a pretty good one, as he's arbitration eligible. Would it be wise for the new GM to sign Bell to, say, a two-year deal and avoid arbitration or trade him? Since it's unlikely the Padres will move Adrian Gonzalez in a deal, this might be the Padres' best chance to...

By David Carter Five months, 20 weeks, and 2,430 games of baseball have been played. The ballot list has been sent out, and many have spoken. Now it’s my turn. Here’s my list (in order) of the guys that most deserve the 2009 National League MVP Award. 10. Adrian Gonzalez (Padres): .277 avg., 153 hits, 40 HR, 99 RBI

By Isaac Barrow So then, you'd have the top three of Brian Roberts, Adam Jones, and Markakis, followed by Wieters, Reimold, Scott, Pie, an unknown third baseman, and Cesar Izturis. Sounds quite good to me. But, if the O's can somehow, someway trade for Adrian Gonzalez (40 HR, 99 RBI) or Prince Fielder (46 HR...

By Todd Kaufmann We assume at this point that outfielder Brian Giles will not be brought back, especially with the emergence of Will Venable. The biggest question facing the new general manager is the fate of first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and closer Heath Bell.

By Joel Barker I made the proposal when there was no way the Padres were going to trade Adrian Gonzalez. Now, according to a report on foxsports.com the Padres are said to be listening to and evaluating proposals for the slugger. The Braves send No. 2-prospect, 1B Freddie Freeman, P Kris Medlen, LF-prospec...

By Jimmy Hascup Adrian Gonzalez would be a superstar if he played for a big market team.  However, playing on the San Diego Padres, Gonzalez is often the forgotten man.  You can’t help but appreciate how much he’s done with so little around him, especially when the Padres have the weakest lineup in the major...

By Todd Kaufmann You'll start seeing names like Jake Peavy, Chris Young, Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Kouzmanoff get the most mention in the trade rumors. There have already been a few articles about the Padres possibly moving Adrian Gonzalez, which would be an even more unpopular move than trading Jake Pea...

By jbox Adrian is pretty mad about Trevor's contract being withdrawn because he is such an unbelievable teammate."I can't think of the Padres without Trevor Hoffman""It hurts me knowing that he won't be there next year.""He should have been given the opportunity to come back""They [the Front Of...

By royhobbs My dad saw this guy, and he immediately called him the "Fat Gonzalez." Adrian Gonzalez taking a mighty cut.  Just to show how good he is at everything he's supposed to be doing, he grounds into a 4-6-3 with authority, quickly negating Giles' walk just a minute prior.

By Phillip Kern Arizona Diamondbacks Los Angeles Dodgers San Francisco Giants San Diego Padres Heading into the season, no one on the roster not named Jake Peavy, Trevor Hoffman, or Adrian Gonzalez impressed me very much.  This franchise has suffered through some very poor drafts in recent years.   Colo...

By Philip Fitzsimmons The Irish do have plans for the future with Jimmy Clausen at QB,just like our Padres have with Chase Headley,Jake Peavy,Adrian Gonzalez,Khalil Greene and Chris Young. And if Notre Dame can improve on their 3-9 season in '07,I believe the Padres can turn things around in the second half. Hop...

By Rick Chandler • Wizard Cat Defensive Player Of The Day. Joba Chamberlain, New York Yankees. Oh Joba, is there anything you can't do? Note to Adrian Gonzalez: What kind of a slide is that? When the opposing pitcher is trying to block the plate you take him out, son! Wizard Cat gives this play: Three wands.

MLB Gameday Fangraphs Live Scoreboard The San Diego leg of the Mets’ current road trip can certainly be classified as a disappointment. The Mets have pretty much shut down San Diego’s most dangerous hitter (Adrian Gonzalez has a single and a walk in nine plate appearances), the Padres’ tw...

By Rich Campbell Josh Bard and Khalil Greene both continued their strong starts to 2008 with multi-hit nights, while Adrian Gonzalez has twice seen long fly balls tracked down that would have left the yard if hit anywhere other than center field.
