JD DREW RUMORS & GOSSIP
Report: Red Sox Haven't Inquired About J.D. Drew's Availability in Wake of Jacoby Ellsbury's Injury
J.D. Drew isn't walking through that door, fans. With Jacoby Ellsbury hitting the 15-day disabled list with a sublexed shoulder, it's reasonable to think the Red Sox are doing their homework when it comes to available outfielders. Apparently, Drew hasn't been one of the assignments. The Sox did not inquire about Drew's availability in the wake of Ellsbury's injury...

With Andrew Bailey, The J.D. Drew Of Pitchers Out, Aceves Named Closer
With J.D Drew, erm, Andrew Bailey out with a thumb injury for a few months, last years long reliever Alfredo Aceves has been pegged as the closer of the Boston Red Sox to start this upcoming season. Aceves pitched very well last season in relief with a 2.61 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 2 saves in [...]

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...

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...

Boston Red Sox add Andrew Bailey
My partner in crime Hudson Belinsky will be covering the nuts and bolts of this deal from the minor league perspective. The Athletics made another deal where they were able to acquire a couple of really good ones. So, from my end I will take a look at the Major League portion of this deal and way in on that side of it.
The Red Sox clearly showed their interest in bringing in one...

The Oakland Athletics are sticking to their rebuilding plan as today the team traded Andrew Bailey and Ryan Sweeney to the Boston Red Sox for Josh Reddick, Miles Head and Raul Alcantara. Bailey was a necessity for the Red Sox as former closer Jonathan Papelbon had signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Phillies and Sweeney could be in the running for the starting right...

Red Sox Winter Meetings Preview
Ben Cherington is ready to make a splash at his first Winter Meetings as GM of the Red Sox and a splash is what the Red Sox need. Ben's shopping list is long, but unlike most Americans this Christmas who have shallow pockets due to the weak economy, he arrives with a pretty big wad 'O cash. J.D. Drew's big money contract is gone and the money reserved for Pap can also...

Red Sox' Right-Field Search Should Focus More on Personality, Less on Big Names
What's the biggest need for the Red Sox this offseason? A manager? A closer? How about a little personality? The team needs a new right fielder following the departure of J.D. Drew. It's a prime opportunity to bring in a big name to replace him, but that might not be the solution the Red Sox need right now. Watching last year's Red Sox team play was frustrating at times...

Vote: Who Is the Greatest Red Sox Player to Wear No. 7?
The Red Sox have retired J.D. Drew's No. 7. OK, so not really. But if you found yourself walking around Fenway Park on Friday, you might have thought that was the case. The "2" in Carlton Fisk's retired No. 27 was missing on Fenway's brick wall on Van Ness St., which caught the attention of a few astute Sox fans. Drew even responded to the mishap, saying, "...
