Report: Red Sox Monitoring Market for Left-Handed Reliever Mike Gonzalez

Mike Gonzalez never pitched in a Red Sox uniform despite getting shipped to Boston in a 2003 trade. But he could end up getting his chance if a recent report is accurate. The Red Sox are monitoring the market for Gonzalez, according to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, who notes the less than desirable lefty reliever options available to the club. Gonzalez, who is currently a...

Red Sox looking into Mike Gonzalez

Via MLBTradeRumors comes word from Nick Cafardo that the Red Sox are exploring the market for lefty reliever Mike Gonzalez.  Gonzalez has been a fine pitcher throughout his career at various stops, including Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Baltimore, and Texas. Predictably, he was better at his first two jobs -- as a younger pitcher in the NL -- than in his latter two. I'm nonplussed...

Yankees didn’t have the budget for Mike Gonzalez

The Yankees were supposedly at budget before signing Andy Pettitte out of retirement last week. In fact, after signing Hiroki Kuroda there were rumors that they might not even have enough to sign both Eric Chavez and Raul Ibanez (obviously they did). So what happened in the case of Pettitte? They made an exception. As Brian Cashman put it, when a pitcher like Pettitte is available...

Why Should Mike Gonzalez Have To Settle For A Minor League Deal?

Mike Gonzalez just turned down an offer for a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers, according to T.R. Sullivan. While this would allow him to participate in spring training with the Rangers, he wouldn’t be guaranteed a spot on the major league roster. For a reliever coming off a season in which he went 2-2 with a 4.39 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP, that might seem like a poor...

Should the Yanks Sign Mike Gonzalez?

I have always been a proponent of a championship team having two left-handers in the bullpen. The Yankees have largely gotten by with Boone Logan the last three years. Former Met, Pedro Feliciano, was supposed to solve that problem last year, but it’s unlikely he will ever throw a pitch as a Yankee due to shoulder problems. Brian Cashman brought in some “scrapheap options...

Their first target may be Mike Gonzalez, who the Yankees are interested in, according to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated.
