Red Sox cry uncle, sign Stephen Drew

[rico43]

Drew signs for approximately $10 million for the remainder of the season -- which is the $14.1 qualifier he declined over the winter. Since he was with Red Sox, they have no draft picks at risk for signing him.

If the Drews aren't Georgia's most famous baseball family, they are certainly regarded as the most mercenary. JD's rejection of the Braves after the Wainwright deal, and the deal itself, was arguably as damaging long-term as the Teixeira heist.

Yeah, I hear Tim Drew is still holding out.

Red Sox sign Drew.

From which it follows the Yankees now have to do something.

From which it follows the Yankees will trade for a pitcher.

From which it follows they will acquire said pitcher from the Braves.

From which it follows that they will also take Uggla off our hands and part of his salary.

From which it follows we will be able to extend/sign an extra player this off-season. Partisans of Heyward/Justin/Santana/flavor-of-the-week rejoice.

Added your missing prediction. You're welcome.

F*ck the Bosox. Can't stand that team.

Boras loses in the end.

I'm shocked the Sox did this since apparently Mookie Betts is the second coming.
