Red Sox Notes: Gonzalez, Hoover, Lopez

Some Red Sox tidbits to close out the evening..

• BoSox GM Theo Epstein doesn't think that the Albert Pujols negotiations will have an impact on the club's talks with Adrian Gonzalez, writes Brian MacPherson of The Providence Journal.  In December the slugger said that he would look for a market value deal rather than try to pattern his extension after Pujols'.
• By acquiring Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Bobby Jenks, Rays manager Joe Maddon believes that the Red Sox gained the most ground of any team in the division this winter, writes Alex Speier of WEEI.com.  
• The Red Sox signed catcher Paul Hoover to a minor league deal, tweets Matt Eddy of Baseball America.  Hoover, 34, has a career .733 OPS at the Triple-A level.
• If Felipe Lopez winds up signing a minor league deal with the Rays and makes the Opening Day roster, the Red Sox still won't receive a compensatory draft pick, writes Alex Speier of WEEI.com.
