The eight-year figure is significant among major league first baseman because that is the exact same length of the contract that Mark Teixeira received from the Yankees. The Padres probably wouldn't mind giving him the years, but if he wants $180 million, it's going to be very difficult to lock him up. Gonzalez remains under team control through 2011.
