Stephen Drew's
Excellent Adventure. With just 38 days until real games start, Drew (and his
Uber-Agent Scott Boras) are
still adrift in the cold snow of barren free agency. Passing on the $14.1 million qualifying offer from Boston, Drew has been casting about for months, looking for a taker on a multi-year deal. The latest is that the Mets—even if they free up payroll by trading
Ike Davis—
are "unlikely" to sign Drew. Why? Says a Metropolitan source:
"At the numbers he's looking for, we don't think he's worth it compared with what we have." Hey, there's always Independent ball.
