The slugger, who grew up in the San Diego area and was the No. 1 overall pick by Florida in the 2000 amateur draft, will be too expensive for the Padres to keep. He was obtained in a trade with Texas before the 2006 season and has become one of the best first baseman in Major League Baseball.
Gonzo became a two-time Gold Glove Award winner, hit .298 with 31 homers and 101 RBIs this past season.
Padres general manager Jed Hoyer said at the end of last season that if Gonzalez wants Mark Teixeira or Ryan Howard money, "that's not something we're going to be able to do."
