Jim Bowden of ESPN.com reported earlier today that Colorado general manager Jeff Bridich is hoping to sign Gonzalez to an extension and, according to Bowden, “the feeling is apparently mutual.”
There has been talk about a possible contract extension for much of the offseason. However, the sides “are still far apart on a deal but they’re working on it,” Bowden reported.
Near the end of last season, Gonzalez expressed to Mark Kiszla of The Denver Post that he would be interested in staying in Denver and being a part of the talented roster that could well make a run at the postseason in 2017 and beyond.
