New York Mets General Manager
Sandy Alderson couldn't be much more direct about his team's interest in free-agent
Stephen Drew,
"We haven't ruled it out, but I think doing anything is unlikely." Since
Ben Cherington has 'poo-pooed' any interest in re-signing Drew, and since the Mets are out, it looks like
Scott Boras should call up
Tweedle-Dumb and
Teewdle-Dumber over in the Bronx. Otherwise, don't be surprised if Drew returns on a one-year 'pillow' deal in Boston—setting up a third-base battle between
Xander Bogaerts and
Will Middlebrooks.
