After months of speculation, the Red Sox finally signed Adrian Gonzalez to a long term deal. This deal is the ninth largest in MLB history for 7 years and 154 million dollars. The Red Sox had been looking to trade for Gonzalez since 2008 but they got a deal done this past off season. The Red Sox acquired Adrian Gonzalez from the Padres for four good prospects. It made a lot of sense that they would sign him to an extension at the beginning of this season since they spent good prospects for him. About four months ago after the trade, the Red Sox had a negotiation period before the deal was completed. The deal was eventually done without a new contract but many believe that the contract has been in place with Gonzalez since then but the Red Sox wanted to hold off on the official signing so they wouldn't have to pay luxury tax. This is why many believe he sign during the beginning of the season. Adrian Gonzalez is perfect for Fenway because he has pull but he also hit the ball to left quite often and he will hit many balls off of the Green Monster this season. This is what Adrian Gonzalez said about the contract:
"I'm a person that for the most part, I want to be in a place where I'm comfortable, where I want to be," Gonzalez said during a news conference at Fenway Park. "This was a place that was a perfect fit for me as well. ... It's a place where I'm going to have a lot of fun. I'm going to really enjoy playing here."
These are Theo Epstein's comments about the deal:
"Were thrilled to have him here and know he'll be a core member of the organization for a long time. We couldn't ask for more from him as a player and as a person. ... I couldn't be happier about it."
