JD DREW RUMORS & GOSSIP
The BP First Take: Wednesday, January 25 by Daniel Rathman
Earlier this week, word began to spread about J.D. Drew hanging up his cleats. On Tuesday afternoon, Jon Heyman confirmed the retirement rumors. Just hours later, the story was an afterthought, thanks to Prince Fielder’s blockbuster deal with the Tigers.
If this is indeed the end for Drew, he will leave behind what, by most standards, is an excellent career. Over 1,566 big-league...

Report: J.D. Drew 'Very Likely to Retire'
It was pretty obvious that J.D. Drew's career with the Red Sox was over after he became a free agent following the 2011 season. Now, the 36-year-old could be hanging it up altogether. Drew is "very likely to retire," according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman. Drew was in the final season of a five-year, $70 million contract in 2011. He appeared in just 81 games for Boston...

Report: JD Drew had Alfalfa Sprouts, Brie, and Perrier During Games
The troubling offseason for the Boston Red Sox just got worse as confirmed sources have revealed to Call of the Green Monster that JD Drew knowingly and willfully consumed alfalfa sprouts and brie during games, and washed it down with Perrier. When confronted with the news, Drew came clean this morning, and tearfully admitted to the practice.
"It's not like I did...

Carl Crawford is the next J.D. Drew
We had many reasons to smile at the start of spring training, one being that this was J.D. Drew's final season in a Red Sox uniform.
The $72 million softy is gone, but his spirit lives on... in the form of Carl Crawford.
The similarities are obvious. Both players are grossly overpaid. Their arrivals had fans wondering, "Do we really need this guy?"
Drew refused to...

Drew back in Red Sox lineup
J.D. Drew has been activated off the 15-day disabled list and inserted into the Boston Red Sox lineup for the second game of a doubleheader against the New York Yankees.

J.D. Drew, Where Are You?
J.D. Drew and the gang look to avoid historic embarrassment.
As I was crying yesterday about the Red Sox perfect storm of suck, I hoped to find something to cheer me up on TV. Just flipping around, I paused and listened to the Scooby-Doo theme song. No, I am not 12; it helped me realize something incredible.
J.D. Drew is Scooby Doo.
I swear the song was actually written about...

J.D. Drew missed a chance to set the most unbreakable record in the history of any sport ever
When Drew came up to bat in the 7th inning of a game on July 7th, the previous 3 Red Sox had just hit home runs.
I was at Fenway for a game in April of ’07 when the Sox hit 4 homers in a row vs the Yankees. Manny, Drew, Lowell, and Varitek did it that day. Now here’s the amazing thing: Drew had also been part of a streak of 4 home runs in a row the previous year...

Death of a Posse: The Complicated Story of J.D. Drew

Left field has always been a sexy position for the Red Sox. Some of the greatest players to ever don a Boston cap have played within the iconic shadows of the Green Monster. This resulted in a player of a different breed evolving out of the odd configurations of right field in Fenway Park. While the Boston left fielder...

Many People Would Like To See J.D. Drew….Dead (Except John Tomase)
With apologies to Armand Schaubroeck for the above headline, Red Sox RF J.D. Drew made an early exit during yesterday’s 4-2, series-salvaging win at Pittsburgh, after fouling a ball off his left eye during BP. While it would be the height of exaggeration to say Drew never found a physical ailment that wouldn’t keep him out of a lineup, it is entirely accurate on the...

Your Morning Dump...where JD Drew is your leadoff hitter today.
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Right fielder J.D. Drew will serve as the Red Sox' third leadoff hitter in as many days against the Toronto Blue Jays on Patriots' Day. Drew has enjoyed tremendous success against Jays starter Ricky...
