Stephen Drew's agent, Scott Boras, told Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe that there are "five or six" teams he's actively talking to about his client. "There are five or six teams who I have actively talked to concerning Stephen," Boras said. "Ben [Cherington, the Red Sox GM] and I have continued our dialogue and will continue to talk." The Red Sox would like Drew back on a one-year deal, but Boras is pushing for a second year. The Mets have also been connected to the shortstop. "I tell my clients all the time that free agency is a long process," said Boras. "It just doesn't end at Christmas. It's a January, February, and even a March process."
