Dodgers pursuing A. Gonzalez

Ken Rosenthal, via MLB Network, reports that the Dodgers are talking with the Padres regarding Adrian Gonzalez and possibly closer Heath Bell. Any deal would include James Loney and a number of other talented players.

Our View: This would be a blockbuster for sure as the Dodgers are lacking in the power department. It's not certain why they would be pursuing Bell as their bullpen has generally been effective all season and they acquired George Sherrill yesterday. We'll keep you posted.

Padres | Working on blockbuster with Dodgers?

The MLB Network reports the San Diego Padres could be working on a blockbuster trade that would send RP Heath Bell and 1B Adrian Gonzalez either together or separately to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for 1B James Loney and prospects. There is no indication if a third team would be involved.

Red Sox | Done pursuing A. Gonzalez

Ken Rosenthal, of FOXSports.com, reports the Boston Red Sox have ended their pursuit of San Diego Padres 1B Adrian Gonzalez now that they are on the verge of acquiring Cleveland Indians C Victor Martinez.

Red Sox | More on talks for A-Gon

SI.com's Jon Heyman reports the Boston Red Sox are still in talks about San Diego Padres 1B Adrian Gonzalez. Red Sox SP Clay Buchholz, SS Jed Lowrie and P Justin Masterson are involved in the talks, but the Padres are asking for 1B Lars Anderson and OF Ryan Westmoreland as well.

50-50 chance V-Mart is dealt

According to MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo, there is about a 50 percent chance that Victor Martinez will be dealt by the trade deadline.

Our View: V-Mart was a hot commodity a day or two ago, but now a deal seems much less likely. The Indians have him under contract until 2011, so there is no urgency to deal him this year. The Red Sox have shown the most interest, but they started straying off V-Mart's path when Adrian Gonzalez came into play.

Red Sox | In full pursuit of A-Gon

The New York Daily News' Mark Feinsand and Bill Madden report the Boston Red Sox are in full pursuit of San Diego Padres 1B Adrian Gonzalez and could acquire CL Heath Bell as well if they are willing to deal RP Daniel Bard.

Red Sox continue to pursue Gonzalez

The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox and Padres are expected to discuss a deal for Adrian Gonzalez up until the trade deadline on Friday. The Padres are asking for a mix of Clay Buchholz, Lars Anderson, Jed Lowrie, and Justin Masterson.

Our View: It's impossible to imagine how bad the Padres would be without Gonzalez, but if they can get an impressive enough package for him then this deal could get done. If the Red Sox could acquire him, they would likely shift Kevin Youkilis to third base and make Mike Lowell a reserve.

Marlins | A. Gonzalez trade rumor false, says team president

The Palm Beach Post's Joe Capozzi reports the San Diego Padres have a proposal on the table to send 1B Adrian Gonzalez and RP Heath Bell to the Florida Marlins for SP Andrew Miller and two top prospects, OF Cameron Maybin and OF Michael Stanton. Team president David Samson, on his weekly radio show, said there’s no truth to that rumor.

The Trade Deadline Takes You Into the Night

The Dodgers added George Sherill to their bullpen. There’s no end in sight to the Pirates fire sale. Cleveland’s Victor Martinez seems likely to go … somewhere (hopefully not to Boston).

Padres | To discuss trade proposals for Bell, A. Gonzalez

Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, of FOXSports.com, report the San Diego Padres' front office will meet with ownership Thursday, July 30, to discuss the recent trade proposals for RP Heath Bell and 1B Adrian Gonzalez. "We've shifted to an opportunity to consider only because we're committed to finding the right process to accelerate our rebuilding process," chief executive officer Jeff Moorad said. "There's an opportunity to consider. I would still characterize the likelihood as unlikely."

Sox still interested in Gonzalez

The Red Sox remain interested in Adrian Gonzalez and talked to the Padres Wednesday night, according to Buster Olney of ESPN.

Our View: Trade talks for the star first baseman are expected to continue today. Adam LaRoche and Mike Lowell would see less action down the stretch if Gonzalez is acquired by Boston.

Slumping Red Sox Looking for Trade Deadline Help

Boston Red Sox: “Roy Halladay, Victor Martinez, or Adrian Gonzalez? The Red Sox have a need for all of them and are still pursuing them.” Halladay is obvious - Philly wouldn’t cough up the prospects, but will Boston, now that it is 3.5 back of the Yankees, and Dice-K is on the shelf, Brad Penny

Our View: A-Gone had just one home run since June 23 before his recent outburst. In case you were amazingly deep at first base and had been benching him, by all means, get him back in your lineup ASAP.

Padres | A. Gonzalez unlikely to be moved

Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi, of FOXSports.com, report the San Diego Padres are unlikely to trade 1B Adrian Gonzalez. "I've said publicly that no player is untouchable, but I would be hard-pressed to imagine a deal that could ever make sense for Adrian Gonzalez," chief executive officer Jeff Moorad said.

Gonzalez breaks Pads record

After initially being given the day off on Sunday, Adrian Gonzalez came in for defensive purposes in the seventh inning, and set the Padres consecutive games played record, at 306, in the process, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Our View: Gonzalez's streak is also the current longest one in the majors. After a huge start in 2009, he has tailed off considerably, as his Pads teammates have been able to provide little protection for him. After hitting his 24th home run on June 23, he has hit just one, and collected only eight RBI.

Padres | A. Gonzalez sets games-played record for team

The Associated Press reports San Diego Padres 1B Adrian Gonzalez came off the bench Sunday, July 26, to extend the longest active consecutive games streak in the majors, establishing a new San Diego Padres record by playing in his 306th straight game. He had previously been tied with Steve Garvey at 305.

Gonzalez, 27, is a two-time All-Star who has been linked to the Red Sox in the last week while Bell, who has converted 24 of 25 saves this season and made his first All-Star team, is due for what could be a hefty raise.

Gonzalez out of lineup Sunday

Adrian Gonzalez is not in the Padres' lineup for the Sunday afternoon game against the Nationals. He will be replaced by Oscar Salazar at first base.

Our View: This looks to be a routine day off for Gonzalez, as no injury has been reported. He has been struggling mightily in July, so maybe this is just a rest day to get him going again. He still has 25 homers, and he is a good enough hitter to break out of this slump and finish strong.

Gonzalez on Boston's radar?

The Red Sox would reportedly like to acquire Padres' star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, according to the Boston Herald.

Our View: Apparently the Sox are not done targeting corner infielders after getting Adam LaRoche from Pittsburgh. The Sox inquired about Gonzalez, but their offers have been turned down so far. The Padres did not state that they have desire to move Gonzalez, who is the cornerstone of their offense.

News: Rick VandenHurk limited the Padres to just three hits before he allowed back-to-back homers to Adrian Gonzalez and Kevin Kouzmanoff in the sixth, giving San Diego a 2-1 lead Monday. The Padres have lost 15 of 19 and have the majors' worst record since June 1 at 12-31. Gonzalez's drive was his 25th of the season and first in 24 games. The All-Star first baseman has hit only three homers since June 2. "I never really panic too much because I know my home runs come in streaks," Gonzalez said. "Hopefully, I can hit a few more the next couple of days, the next couple of weeks." [...]

Padres | Gonzalez, Kouzmanoff hit home runs Monday

Gonzalez has now hit in three straight, and may be pulling out

Gonzalez has now hit in three straight, and may be pulling out of the tailspin that dropped his average from .273 to .250 over the last 20 games. It's tough for Gonzo, who is pretty much the whole show in San Diego and has little protection in the lineup, but he's a lock to continue to hit homers and rack up walks, regardless of whether or not he gets his average back up into the .270s.

Gonzalez a good fit in Boston?

The Boston Globe is suggesting that Padres' first baseman Adrian Gonzalez would be a good fit with the Red Sox. The team could use a first baseman, thus allowing Kevin Youkilis to shift to third to make up for the loss of the injured Mike Lowell.

Our View: The lefty Gonzalez could enjoy driving the ball the other way in Boston, but it seems highly unlikely the Padres will move him. His contract is affordable, and right now he is the only reason people in San Diego come to the park. Look for Gonzalez to stay put unless someone absolutely blows the Padres away with a trade offer.

A. Gonzalez leaves to be with brother

News: The Padres' Edgar Gonzalez was helped off the field after he was hit in the head by a pitch in the sixth inning of Saturday night's game against the Rockies. Gonzalez was hit near the ear hole on his batting helmet with a fastball from Colorado's Jason Hammel and immediately grabbed his head and fell to the ground. He remained clutching his head in a prone position for several minutes before finally sitting up. Gonzalez walked to a cart with help from head trainer Todd Hutcheson and assistant trainer Paul Navarro and driven off the field. Edgar's brother, All-Star Adrian Gonzalez, was pulled from the game when the inning ended to go to the hospital where Edgar was being treated. [...]

E. Gonzalez carted off field

Edgar Gonzalez was carted off the field after being struck on his helmet by a Jason Hammel fastball in the bottom of the sixth inning during tonight's battle against the Rockies, according to MLB.com.

A-Gon to get extra rest

MLB.com reports that Padres' slugger Adrian Gonzalez will be given random off days in the second half of the season.

Our View: This move is likely designed to keep Gonzalez from getting hurt, but could also be related to the fact that he's slumped significantly since June 1st. The big first baseman is the most important hitter on the team and is also the Padres' most valuable trade chip. He has started 297 consecutive games, but that streak will come to a close soon as the organization wants to play it safe with him. He has just six hits in July, hasn't homered since June 23rd and has seen his average dip from .285 to .248 since June 19th. Looks like he could use a few days.

Gonzalez carried plenty of fantasy teams in April and May, hitting

Gonzalez carried plenty of fantasy teams in April and May, hitting 20 home runs before teams decided to stop pitching to him in June (32 BB). Still, Gonzalez is a home run machine despite playing his home games at cavernous PETCO Park and in a lineup that offers little support. He’s capable of hitting for a higher average, but not enough to vault him past Ryan Howard on the first-base rankings.

Our View: Pujols gets to hit last in his home ballpark, which will be rocking when he walks to the plate. The top four will advance to the second round, and Pujols has to be considered the favorite going into the contest.

Gonzalez records hit in loss

Adrian Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with a single in tonight's 2-1 loss at San Francisco.

Our View: The Padres only had seven hits in the game, and left 13 men on base. Gonzalez has now gone 18 games without a homer, and holds a dismal .143 average over 42 at-bats so far in July.

Hairston trade could affect A-Gone

Adrian Gonzalez has lost some of his main protection in the lineup with the Padres trade of Scott Hairston.

Our View: Gonzalez has already seen his power numbers drop as fewer teams pitch to him, and now that Hairston and his team third best ten home runs will no longer be hitting near him in the lineup, he will likely see even fewer good pitches.

Reynolds crushes another homer

Mark Reynolds went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer off Ubaldo Jimenez in Sunday's 4-3 win at Colorado.

He will be joined on the team by fellow infielders Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder, Orlando Hudson, Freddy Sanchez, Miguel Tejada, and Ryan Zimmerman, outfielders Brad Hawpe, Hunter Pence, and Justin Upton, and catcher Brian McCann.

Our View: Gonzalez is one of four first baseman who will represent the NL in the midsummer classic. The competition at the position was the deepest in the league, but manager Charlie Manuel decided to bring all four players.

Adrian Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday.

Adrian Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with an RBI on Saturday.

Analysis: A-Gon has three RBIs in two games after producing just five during a 26-game stretch from June 3 - July 2. He has a .217 batting average with runners in scoring position, so he's clearly not taking advantage of the run-producing opportunities he's been given. It'll be tough for him to reach 100 RBIs for the third straight year if he doesn't turn around that lowly average.

Gonzalez drives in two

Adrian Gonzalez was 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in the Padres 6-3 loss to the Dodgers on Friday.

Our View: A-Gon has been mired in a monster slump lately. He hasn't homered since June 23rd and hasn't had a multi-hit game since June 18th. He's seen his average fall all the way to .265, and one of the game's brightest stars the first two months of the season has considerably dwindled.
