Read: Gonzalez Left Off of Padres 2010 Ticket Brochure
Chris Ello, in a post to his blog for 619Sports.net, is reporting that the Padres have left Adrian Gonzalez off of their 2010 season ticket brochure.
Ello wonders if this means that the Padres do not plan to have Gonzalez on their team next season.
…i think it’s a fair point although its difficult to guage a team’s intent based on the pictures of a ticket brochure…
…obtaining Gonzalez would obviously be a dream come true for the Mets…it would certainly end the debate over Daniel Murphy at first base but i have to wonder how realistic such a scenario is, given the stature of the Mets farm system, although there appears to be some promise as of late…
…the Padres are in a similar situation that the Blue Jays are in with Roy Halladay in that he is entering his walk year, and neither team can afford to sign their stars to a big deal after next season……that said, the Padres and the Blue Jays have time…if they can’t form a deal this winter, they could conceivably wait to see where they are at the end of July, and deal him if the team is not contending….
This past season, Gonzalez hit .277 with 40 home runs and 99 RBI for a Padres team that hit a total of 141 home runs and scored 638 runs.
