Adrian Gonzalez claims to have been speaking hypothetically when he spoke about the Cubs.
?If (the Cubs) made me an offer, I would be interested in it,? said Gonzalez to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Gonzalez is eligible for free agency after the 2011 season.
?He was being hypothetical about 2012, and so was I,? Gonzalez said. ?I said if I become a free agent, I?m going to listen to the offer.?
Asked if the timing were poor given that the team is in a pennant race, Gonzalez said, ?What did I do wrong? I just said if I become a free agent.?

Mike Quade is 21-11 as interim manager of the Cubs and received his first public endorsement from one of his players on Tuesday.
"He's been very upfront, very honest with all of us," Ryan Dempster said. "He's been tremendously supportive, he's given us a lot of confidence to go out there. What he's done for the bullpen- those guys have really stepped up and he's believed in them.
"He's done a great job and I hope that he's here longer than just this year. I hope he's managing for us next year because he deserves it. He's done everything they've asked, and everyone in here really likes him."
