Red Sox General Manager
Ben Cherington said last night that, while
the team has continued to talk with representatives of free agent Stephen Drew, there are no signs of agreement on a new contract for the shortstop. Cherington participated in a panel moderated by
Hall of Fame baseball writer
Peter Gammons as part of the
Hot Stove/Cool Music event for
Theo Epstein's
Foundation To Be Named Later. Joining Cherington were
John Farrell,
Craig Breslow, Assistant GM
Mike Hazen, Farm Director
Ben Crockett, and the legendary
Bob Ryan. Cherington also said that the team expects to "add a player or two" before the start of Spring Training—although he did not elaborate on the types of players he's looking at.
