The Colorado Rockies and Carlos Gonzalez have reportedly discussed the possibility of a contract extension that would keep the star outfielder in Denver beyond next offseason, when he’s currently set to become a free agent.
There is interest in both sides, CarGo told Venezuelan reporter Wilmer Reina, but the negotiations are still a ways off from gaining any real ground. Gonzalez’s seven-year, $80 million deal that he signed following his breakout 2010 campaign expires at the end of the upcoming season.
Gonzalez, after dealing with various nagging injuries for several years, has put together two consecutive healthy seasons.
