The Yomiuri Giants are set to acquire second baseman Edgar Gonzalez, reports Kyodo News. Adrian's older brother hit .216/.278/.373 in 169 plate appearances this year for the Padres, missing time with a concussion and a shoulder injury. Gonzalez was planning to elect free agency after the Padres outrighted him in November.

does he have a say in going to japan?
Yes, he can say no and be unemployed, or underemployed.
He stinks. This is the right move for him.
Did you guys every see Mr. Baseball? Great movie.
Yep. Loved it.
He signed at least a couple of weeks ago if not more, he said it in a interview in Mazatlán where he is playing for the Mazatlán Deers of the winter Mexican Pacific League (the actual champions).
He sounded disapointed that the Padres opted not to keep him, and by the way Adrián didn’t play this year winter ball because the Padres didn’t want him to be hurt as it would diminish his value IF they want to trade him (his agent didn’t tell Adrián he was on the trading block and that the BoSox were pursuing him, he learnt it thanks to… well, i’m gonna say “somebody” :p).
Right now they’re in the playoffs just about to go to the semifinals (they are up 3-1 in their series).
Adrian should have used the Rueschel clause. Remember when Rick and Paul Rueschel pitched for the Cubs in the ’70’s. I think there was a gentleman’s agreement between Rick and the Cubs that Paul was gonna be on the team…if they wanted their ace to be happy.
It was not wrote on paper, but it was an agreement between Adrian and KT..
IMO Edgar was a good bat, enought to have him on an everyday basis, the problem is his glove….he deserves a MLB job as a regular…
Edgar is all heart. He is a grinder and always gives his all, his little bro should pay attention.
