Drew’s shoulder, of all things, causing Red Sox concern
Are the Red Sox having second thoughts on signing J.D. Drew? They at least want a second opinion on the outfielder’s physical exam results, The Boston Globe reported Sunday.
Drew is scheduled to have a second opinion Monday on a shoulder issue that came up in Drew’s first exam, a source told The Globe.
The newspaper reported that it isn’t known if the issue could void Drew’s deal with the Red Sox. Boston reached a preliminary agreement on a five-year, $70 million contract with Drew at the winter meetings on Dec. 5.
The shoulder issue could cause the Red Sox to shorten the length of the agreement, or replace some guarantees with incentives, The Globe reported.
