The Gonzo rumors continue flying

A day after Dejan wrote an article about everyone being interested in Gonzalez, Johnny P. follows up with an article in which he says pretty much only the Yankees are left. It's hard to take him seriously though, because he refers to Melky Cabrera as a left-handed hitter when he is, in fact, a switch hitter. Anyways, if Perrotto is to be believed, the Bucs turned down a Chad Tracey for Gonzo offer from Arizona and told the Red Sox to take Coco Crisp and go home, while the Braves have exited the bidding for Gonzalez. Meanwhile, the Yankees have offered up Melky Cabrera (who the PG said would NOT be offered) while the Pirates are asking for Scott Proctor as well. Charlie is asking what everyone thinks DL will end up getting for Gonzalez and the responses are not very positive. Knowing DL's track record, I'll be surprised if he trades him at all.
