JD Drew to Red Sox for $70 mil

per Boston Herald

for how many years?

 

5 years. Makes me wonder if Epstein got abducted by aliens and has his brain removed...

GD- Do you realize how lame it is to keep doing that? Shit deserves it's own thread. Nobody would have noticed were it buried on that lengthy thread.

 

A separate for sure.

 

This is a significant signing. The Red Sox are spending.

This isn't Rich Aurilla.

 

completely agree. not even up for debate.

 

As a Yankees fan this makes me giggle.
Hopefully the Red Sox now think it will be safe to trade Manny.

 

However, it does make Drew look smart for opting out of his deal with L.A. No-one thought he'd get that kind of money when he did it, and yet here he is with 2 more years and a lot more money ($37 mil I think?)

 

I read maybe Manny in a three-way trade to the Mariners, who would ship J.J. Putz to the Red Sox. Guess that would solve their closer problems, if it turns out to be true.

 

It would solve their closer problems, but it wouldn't solve the giant gaping hole behind Ortiz, who would then be walked like he was Barry Bonds.
