According to J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group, veteran first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is garnering interest from three MLB clubs which includes the Arizona Diamondbacks, Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals.

Each of the three aforementioned MLB squads are currently in a rebuild so taking on the 36-year-old Gonzalez whose last somewhat productive year came three seasons ago wouldn’t be too much of an issue considering he’ll be had at a minimum price.
Gonzalez was released last season after 54 games with the Mets when he slashed at .237/.299/.373 with six home runs. In 2017 back issues limited him to only 71 games.
