Adrian Gonzalez's agent John Boggs told the Boston Herald that a meeting with the Red Sox on Tuesday went "very well."
"Everything went really well," said Boggs. "What we’re on schedule to do is hopefully get something resolved some point in April and move from there. Our meeting really consisted in catching up with them on particulars we left off in December and try to advance those. I’m sure we made pretty good strides there. Our main goal obviously is to ensure that Adrian’s healthy and playing everyday as a major league ballplayer. Once that actually happens, the beginning of the season takes place, hopefully we’ll get something done sometime in April.’’ The two sides are expected to finalize a contract worth approximately $154 million shortly after the season begins. Similar to the Josh Beckett extension last year, the move will allow the Red Sox to avoid luxury tax implications.
