John Tomase of the Boston Herald reports that the Red Sox have "held firm" with a one-year offer to Stephen Drew.
Multiple sources have told Tomase that they're willing to offer one year, while one source says it would likely be one year with an option. Drew's agent, Scott Boras, is looking for at least a three-year deal for his client, but it's not coming from the Red Sox and is looking unlikely to come from anyone at this point. Manager John Farrell wants Drew's situation solved one way or another soon. "I think the one thing that we don't want is a lingering what-if if Stephen is still out there," Farrell said. "I think in all fairness to our guys, our clubhouse, guys that would be affected if he were to be brought in."
