http://tinyurl.com/2bw8cht DENVER -- The Rockies' efforts to sign outfielder Carlos Gonzalez to a seven-year, $80 million contract are moving in a positive direction and could result in a signed contract this week, according to sources with knowledge of the negotiations. Reports for several days have said Gonzalez plans to come to Denver from Venezuela this week to sign what sources in the U.S. and Venezuela told MLB.com on Monday is a seven-year, $80 million contract. However, there is no official confirmation until Gonzalez arrives in Denver and takes a physical -- a prerequisite to a deal being signed. Fabiola Bohorquez, recently hired as Gonzalez's publicist, said through a series of dispatches on Twitter that Gonzalez has agreed to the deal. The Denver Post also reported that Barhoquez said during a phone call that Gonzalez loves Denver and his teammates. Gonzalez is officially represented by agent Scott Boras, who told ESPN.com in a text message that the sides are still in discussions and the tweets are not official. "That is not Carlos making that announcement,'' Boras said in the text message. "We are in discussions and negotiating with Colorado.'' The plan to come to Denver and attempt to complete a contract was first reported Friday by El Nacional, a newspaper in Caracas, Venezuela. Gonzalez, 25, who lives in Venezuela, could receive a visa and fly to Denver on Wednesday to finalize the deal, the paper reported, quoting a source close to Gonzalez. Also on Friday, a Rockies official told MLB.com that the Rockies have had an offer in place for Gonzalez, who led the National League in batting with a .336 average last season and earned his first Silver Slugger and Gold Glove Awards. The Rockies reached out to Gonzalez after signing shortstop Troy Tulowitzki to a seven-year, $134 million extension that will keep him with the club through 2020. Tulowitzki gave up multiple years of free agency, which Gonzalez would do if he signs the Rockies' offer. Without such a deal, Gonzalez could become a free agent after the 2014 or 2015 season, depending on whether he becomes arbitration-eligible after 2011 or 2012. By signing for seven years, Gonzalez will delay free agency until after 2017. If he hits the market after such a deal, he will be only 32, still in position for a lucrative deal should he choose to test the market. 已經確定了 http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_16999907 Denver Post: Carlos Gonzalez's publicist says he's agreed to Rockies contract extension -- 生活娛樂館 生活, 娛樂, 心情 GlobalView 國際 Σ世界地球村 → 美國/異國旅遊 LG_NAmerica 北美 Σ北美綜合群組 Colorado 試閱 ◎Colorado新開版，版友快來呀~ --
