According to Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman, Mike Gonzalez is signing a two-year deal worth $12 million, with an additional $4 million in incentives.
Gonzalez immediately becomes Baltimore's best bet to open the season as closer. The Type-A free agent will not cost Baltimore its' first-rounder, so Atlanta ends up with no first rounders out of their departed relievers in Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano. This hurts the fantasy value of Jim Johnson, although he might be used in some strategic matchups and vulture saves.

The Orioles are nearing a two-year agreement with LHP Mike Gonzalez, reports the Baltimore Sun.
This news comes as a bit of a surprise, but Gonzalez was seeking a closing job and should get plenty of save opportunities in Baltimore. The left-hander had a 2.42 ERA this past season for Atlanta, which will receive a compensatory pick plus the Orioles' second-rounder (their first round pick is protected). The salary numbers aren't known yet.

According to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, Mike Gonzalez and Kevin Gregg are among relievers the Brewers have discussed internally.
Gonzalez is a Type A free agent, so the Brewers would have to surrender draft pick compensation in order to sign him. Gregg was a Type A, as well, however the Cubs declined to offer him arbitration last week. Milwaukee is in the hunt for a reliable set-up man for closer Trevor Hoffman now that Mark DiFelice will have a late start to the '10 season following shoulder surgery.

Mike Gonzalez has declined an offer of arbitration from the Braves.
The Braves weren't so fortunate with Rafael Soriano, who accepted arbitration and could earn up to $8 million through the process. Gonzalez is interested in landing a mutli-year contract with another club and is likely to do so. The 31-year-old had a 2.42 ERA this past season.

According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, free agents Mike Gonzalez and Rafael Soriano will decline arbitration from the Braves.
No surprise here. As one general manager told Heyman, they are "the two most sought-after relievers on (the) market." Both are Type A free agents, so the Braves should get a nice lot of draft picks after surrendering compensation for Billy Wagner.
