J.D. Drew signs with Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers today agreed, in principle, on a five-year, $55 million contract with former Brave J.D. Drew. The Braves had offered Drew a $25 million contract spanning 3 years. The Dodgers moved to sign Drew just hours after backing out of a 3-way trade that would have sent Shawn Green to the Diamondbacks and Randy Johnson to the Yankees. The Dodgers really seem to be getting desperate at this point. They can only hope they won’t be singing J.D. Drew’s D.L. Blues come September. Meanwhile, Braves fans are waiting on John Schuerholz, who will presumably acquire an experienced outfielder to fill Drew’s outfield spot in the coming months.
