CLEVELAND -- The deal is dead. Juan's not gone.

The Yankees' tentative trade for Juan Gonzalez collapsed Monday when the Detroit Tigers right fielder rejected a one-year, $12.5 million contract extension offered by New York.

The Yankees agreed last Wednesday to a 3-for-1 trade with Detroit for the two-time AL MVP, but he had a no-trade clause that allowed him to block the deal. The commissioner's office then gave the sides until Sunday to complete the trade, a deadline that was extended a day.

While Gonzalez was willing to go to New York without an extension, which would allow him to become a free agent after the season, the Yankees wouldn't agree to complete the deal on those terms.

Gonzalez was booed at Comerica Park on Tuesday night in his first home appearance since the trade talks between the teams developed.

"I'm glad Juan is in the lineup tonight and I look forward to playing with him for a long time," Detroit first baseman Tony Clark said before the Tigers' 7-6, 11-inning victory over New York, in which Gonzalez was hitless in six at-bats.

The Yankees are now discussing possible deals for Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs, Moises Alou of Houston, B.J. Surhoff of Baltimore and Ellis Burks of San Francisco. According to several people familiar with the talks, no deals were close. "It's been crazy with the rumors," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "It wouldn't surprise me if something happened. It wouldn't surprise me if nothing happened. We haven't kept things sane. There are a lot of distractions when you play in New York. Since I've been here, this is the craziest it's been."

Gonzalez had little to say before Tuesday's game, offering only a "No comment" in the clubhouse and ignoring reporters' questions during pregame stretching. After the game, he went into the shower as reporters approached.

"He's a tremendous player and I would be sorry if they traded him, but you know, it's a crazy game," Detroit outfielder Bobby Higginson said.

Gonzalez was met with a mixture of cheers and boos when he was announced before his first inning at-bat.

The boos grew louder throughout the game.

"I heard on a radio station this morning people saying 'come to the ballpark and boo Gonzalez,"' Garner said. "I don't understand why you'd want to boo him for his decision to stay here." New York agreed to a tentative deal last Thursday that would have sent outfielder Ricky Ledee to Detroit along with minor league third baseman Drew Henson and pitcher Randy Keisler.

But the Yankees wanted to lower their offer if Gonzalez came only as a three-month rental. The Tigers said no.

Ledee went 1-for-3 Tuesday.

Garner said his team has kept things in perspective. "It's not been that big of a deal for the team," he said.

Garner said Gonzalez told him from the beginning that he wanted to stay in Detroit.

"He told me he didn't want to go," Garner said. "He said he wished he was doing better but that he was happy in Detroit and wanted to stay. I can only go by what Juan told me."

Garner doesn't think the Tigers will try to make another deal for Gonzalez before the July 31 trading deadline.

"I'm planning on having him here for the rest of the year no matter what deadlines we get to," Garner said.
