Adrián Savin González (born May 8, 1982), also known by his nicknames A-Gon and Titán, is a Mexican-American professional baseball first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers of Major League Baseball (MLB).

González was the first overall pick in the 2000 Major League Baseball draft by the Florida Marlins. He was traded to the Texas Rangers, and later to the San Diego Padres, where he was an All-Star selection four times and two-time Gold Glove winner. The four-time Padres team Most Valuable Player (MVP) was traded to the Boston Red Sox before entering the final year of his contract during the 2010 offseason and traded again to the Dodgers in August 2012.

González was born in the United States, but played for Mexico in the 2006, 2009 and 2013 editions of the World Baseball Classic.

Adrian Gonzalez was born in San Diego, California to David and Alba Gonzalez, both Mexican natives. Gonzalez is the youngest of three boys; his brothers are David Jr. and Edgar, a former big leaguer. After his birth, his parents moved the family to Tijuana, where his father owned an air-conditioner business. The three boys grew up playing baseball in Mexico, where their father had been a member of the Mexican national baseball team. In 1990 the family returned to the United States, settling in Bonita, California.
