Gonzalez Open To Deferred Money From PadresAdrian Gonzalez's agent John Boggs said his client's future in San Diego has yet to be determined. Another source close to the situation backed up that assertion, saying Gonzalez would consider taking deferred money if the club offered a "fair market offer." "I don't know where the marketplace will be. I don't know if Adrian will hit 60 home run next season; who knows what will happen?" Boggs said Thursday. "Anything is possible. All I can tell you is we're a controlled player and Adrian is focused on being a Padre." Padres owner Jeff Moorad said the team could "probably not" afford to pay Gonzalez a salary in the $17-20 million range. That figure arose from the meeting between Boggs and Hoyer this winter, when the agent mentioned New York Yankees slugger Mark Teixeira as a comparison point in establishing Gonzalez's value. But Boggs said Thursday that Teixeira, who received an eight-year, $180 million deal from the Yankees in January 2009, is just one player he'll use in any future Gonzalez negotiations.
