Red Sox to pay price for Adrian Gonzalez: 7 years, $154 million


LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox not only got their man in first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, but also quietly have a contract extension in place.
The Red Sox and Gonzalez have a preliminary agreement on a seven-year extension for $154 million, according to three officials aware of the agreement. The officials, who could not comment on the extension because it is not yet official, also noted the deal likely will not be announced until April for the Red Sox to avoid luxury tax implications.
