Adrian Gonzalez, Red Sox Fail to Reach Contract Extension; Trade in Jeopardy

Filed under: Padres, Red Sox, MLB Hot Stove, MLB Winter Meetings

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Red Sox and Adrian Gonzalez were unable to find common ground on a long-term contract before their time to negotiate elapsed Sunday afternoon, leaving Boston's proposed blockbuster trade for the Padres first baseman in limbo.

Major League Baseball had granted the Red Sox a negotiating window that expired at 2 p.m. ET Sunday, but no deal was reached with Gonzalez and his agent, John Boggs. It was not immediately clear if that would scuttle the trade set to bring the All-Star to Boston in exchange for four prospects.

"All I can say is, it was very disappointing it could not work out," Boggs told FanHouse's Tom Krasovic. "We're very busy at this point."
