JD Drew Opts Out Of Contract - Free Agent

JD Drew has opted out of the final three years of his contract and is now a free-agent. I guess he thinks he can get more than the $33 Million he would've gotten on this deal.

He probably will since there aren't many top OFers available on the open market.

Who will Los Angeles get to replace him?

Re: JD Drew Opts Out Of Contract - Free Agent

If they really wanted to spend some money, the Dodgers could go out and get Gary Matthews, Jr.

Carlos Lee and Alfonso Soriano would also be expensive, but the Dodgers could use a power hitter in the middle of that lineup.

Moises Alou (if he doesn't retire), Trot Nixon, Jeromy Burnitz, Juan Pierre, and Jay Payton are some of their other choices.

I think Carlos Lee is the best out of those players you specified, MVB.

Cool Re: JD Drew Opts Out Of Contract - Free Agent

I think he's nuts to opt out of his deal. I'd be surprised if he gets 33 million from anyplace else.

If Boston wants him, they'll play 33 Million.

Did you hear that Boston is looking to add an outfielder? They need pitching, not hitting. So they can have him.
