San Diego's unexpectedly successful 2010 allowed the team to retain Adrian Gonzalez this season and it will likely mean they keep him through the winter as well. "Even if they miss the playoffs now, coming off a year this successful, it would be difficult for them to move him," said an official of one team that figures to be interested in Gonzalez. "They're still scrapping and clawing, trying to get people back into their park and build back their base. So it would be a precarious decision to endanger that and trade him. I'd really be surprised if they did that now." The Padres would still have an opportunity to trade Gonzalez before the July 31st deadline if they are out of contention.
