In a feeble attempt to mitigate the reduced market value of
Stephen Drew,
Uber-Agent Scott Boras is trying to get the New York Metropolitans to sign the shortstop who helped the Sox to a World Series title. Reportedly, he is also trying to foist
Kendrys Morales on
The Fabs Of Flushing. When the Red Sox extended a qualifying offer to Drew, it tied draft-pick compensation to the soon-to-be 31-year old. That has drastically reduced interest among several teams. Most observers think Drew will end up re-signing with the Red Sox— allowing a shift to third base by
Xander Bogaerts and open up the possibility of a trade of
Will Middlebrooks.
