Sources: Red Sox sign shortstop Drew to one-year, $10M deal
The Boston Red Sox have signed shortstop Stephen Drew to a one-year $10M deal, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
The amount is prorated from the $14M qualifying offer the Red Sox extended to Drew during the offseason, according to sources. Drew will be exempt from a qualifying offer at the end of the year.
Drew played 124 games for the Red Sox last season, but was unable to come to terms on a new deal with the team and tested free-agency. No teams bit and now he rejoins the defending World Series champion Red Sox, who at 20-23 are off to a sluggish start to the season.
Sources: #RedSox sign Drew.

Source: Drew deal with #RedSox is for one year. Free agent again at end of season. Draft-pick compensation will not apply.

Again, by signing mid-season, Drew exempt from qualifying offer at end of year. Getting $10M (pro-rated $14M QO), per @joelsherman.

#RedSox do not get pick they would have received if Drew had signed elsewhere before draft. But that wasn’t happening and now they get Drew.

Drew will NOT be in uniform for #RedSox tonight but will be at Fenway.
