Red Sox fans get out your pitchforks; the deal for Gonzalez is off because a contract extension could not be worked out. The sides could still work out a trade for the 2011 season but it is unlikely the Red Sox will send the same package for one year with Gonzalez.
John Henry should not be expecting many Christmas cards from Red Sox Nation this year.
UPDATE: Fox Sports’ Jon Morosi say the deal is not off yet via twitter.
UPDATE 2: MLB.com’s Ian Browne writes that the deal is off for now.
