Just so we're all caughts up from the U-T:
General Manager Kevin Towers told Gonzalez on Thursday that the club is interested in discussing a multiyear extension, and Gonzalez said, "It's great that he said it. That's not set in stone, but ... it's good to hear it."
And just for the record, my biggest beef with this situation was the way it went down. As far as I can tell, this was the timeline:
- Padres offer A-Go a bit of a raise
- A-Go asks for more
- Padres come back by giving much less than their initial offer
