Delay is not denial, CarGo publicists insists
Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez will travel from Venezuela to Denver on Sunday, rather than Wednesday as previously announced, according to tweets from his publicists. The tweets say he will receive the visa on Wednesday. But there has been no change in his plan to take a physical and make official the seven-year, $80 million contract he has agreed to with the Rockies.
Travel delays or last-minute logistical changes are no big deal. If you recall, players from Latin American countries often are delayed by visa issues when they try to make the trip to the U.S.

Yeah, well, let’s hope this deal goes through. Why is it that I think that Scott Boras is up to something?
I guess that’s always a concern. But when CarGo himself goes on TV and says he’s agreed to a deal, it’s hart to believe it’ll all fall apart. We’ll see.
I was feeling nostalgic and Googled your name. Congratulations on working for MLB. I recently retired from the Evansville, Ind., Courier & Press where I have worked since 1987. For most of that time, I was metro columnist until the newspaper business went into the toilet and I had to do other stuff for the last three years.

I’m sure you know that Tom B. died a few months ago in a tragic accident.
