Two-time MVP Juan Gonzalez is seeking another swing at a comeback after nearly three years since his last at-bat, and the St. Louis Cardinals have discussed extending him an invitation to spring training according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Gonzalez, 38, has been working out at Eduardo Perez's Winter Training Program in Puerto Rico. The Cardinals, intrigued by descriptions of Gonzalez's workouts, are exploring the possibility of signing the former All-Star outfielder, but a source cautioned that no deal is completed.
"He really never stopped playing," said Perez, a former Cardinal and founder of a winter program that offers professional players training facilities in exchange for community work. "He looks great, like he hasn't missed a beat. His legs look strong. Once a hitter, always a hitter."
