Padres Talked Adrian Gonzalez Extension in 2009, Never Found Common Ground

Filed under: ,

How much were the Padres willing to pay Adrian Gonzalez, the star first baseman they traded to the Boston Red Sox last Sunday?

Gonzalez's agent, John Boggs, told FanHouse that discussions with the club never reached dollar specifics.

"There was never an official offer," Padres CEO Jeff Moorad said.

Both sides revealed this week, however, that the Padres broached an extension in 2009 that would've ranged from $12 million to $15 million per year.

"The idea was that that was a level that we were comfortable going to," Moorad told FanHouse on Friday.
