The 31-year-old Drew had opted out of his contract with the Dodgers. He had three years and $33 million left on his deal. The executives believe the Red Sox will give him a more lucrative offer.

According to the Boston Globe, which cited unnamed sources, Drew’s asking price is at least $14 million a year.

Drew, who has been criticized for being injury prone throughout his career, hit .283 with 20 home runs and 100 RBIs for the Dodgers in 2006.

 

I would have welcomed him back to the Birds on the Bat.
