buy frumil The Sox were willing to overpay for ONE year. Period, end of story. They are not interested in a two year deal at any price. They tendered him to get a draft pick, knowing that a tender has never been picked up since being instituted. Nor was Boras willing to let him sign the tender (at any cost, which just might be a lot of money out of Drew’s pocket). I’d certainly prefer to go with Middlebrooks, Xander and JBJ knowing that help could arrive in June/July if necessary. Plus, we get a draft pick for Drew. Actually a genius move by Cherington at the expense of Drew. If he does eventually come back (Farrell’s binky after all), it will not be anywhere near 14M.
