Adrian Gonzalez is scheduled to undergo shoulder surgery in New York today to clean out the labrum area. The surgery will not impede Gonzalez from participating in Spring Training 2011.

“He’ll be ready for spring training,” GM Jed Hoyer said. “It’s so that he’ll be 100 percent.

“We don’t look at it as a significant thing. It never kept him out of the game. Once the season was over, we knew he’d deal with it.”

One baseball source close to the North County Times’ Dan Hayes says the San Diego Padres are likely to trade the first baseman this winter or possibly by the July 2011 trade deadline if they receive the right package. While the surgery is minor, it could affect Gonzalez’s perceived value.

Padres’ owner Jeff Moorad has previously acknowledged that signing Gonzalez to a long-term deal “doesn’t appear to be practical from a financial standpoint,” leading to speculation that San Diego could move their first baseman soon. The team has picked up the $5.5 million 2011 option for Gonzalez, so rather than let one of baseball’s premier sluggers walk away for nothing they may salvage their remaining trade leverage and deal him this winter.
