Drew traded to NYY

[Station 13]

yes it's true.

[sk7326]

Good move - get Bogaerts back to SS, ride it out. Not sure who is coming back - not sure how much I care.

[sk7326]

yes it's true.

 

Kelly Johnson coming back. Pure salary dump.

[crc2120]

Yup, just saw it on ESPN. Good riddance, he didnt bring much to the team this year.

[Jasonbay44]

I don't care what we got, in order to help Xander develop more, this is a good trade.

[gojohn99]

Wow this day is a bigger sell off than Beckett/Crawford in 2012

[d-money]

GTFO Drew and dont let the door hit u on ur way out!!

[jd98]

Too bad this didn't happen two months ago. Oh well, I guess it saves them enough cash to pay what they're sending to Oakland and St Louis.

[a700hitter]

Kelly Johnson? Seriously?

[Station 13]

The Yankee upgraded, Drew has start to hit

[sk7326]

Kelly Johnson? Seriously?

 

I think of it as "Stephen Drew for cash" in the form of a guy making $7M less a year.

[d-money]

The sox have suddenly become the astros lol.

[Palodios]

Haven't we learned our lesson? Sending the Yankees our players for large sums of cash is a scary, horrible thing that leads to hundreds of years of championship droughts.

[Station 13]

Cash dump move.

[a700hitter]

How much does this save us?

[Station 13]

How much does this save us?

 

Drew has probably 5M left, and Johnson 1.5M

 

Red Sox will pay Johnson.

[Palodios]

How much does this save us?

 

My math says it must come out to around 4.7 million, minus Johnson's share.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

It saved us from having SBF rant about Drew. The old man is having a party right now.

 

 

I like this move though.

We only owe Drew 2 months salary -- that's only $4 million. What do the Yankees owe Johnson?

[RedSoxNC84]

I should have stayed in bed today, f*** these trades.

[Wasatch]

I really will not miss him.

[Northern Star]

I understand the theory of a salary dump, but really, not even a half-assed prospect? Someone young with just an inkling of potential? KJ is just a warm body for two months.

[Behindenemylines]

Puts Bogaerts back at SS for the rest of the season. The Drew signing was a panic move that should have never happened. Johnson is hurt now and shouldn't figure into the 2015 plans.

The old man as you put it said at the very beginning that this signing was a disaster. We weren't doing well before we signed him, after we did things sprang out of control with Xander falling apart while Drew couldn't get a hit to save his sorry ass. Since you like this move it means you now know t hat signing was also a disaster, so why not now simply say you were WRONG and I was RIGHT. Because that is a fact. At least you had enough guts to come back on board and say you liked the move. Late, but welcome to the party. I wonder where your friend User Name is though. He disappeared when things got rough and his ideas turned to s***. Drew should n ever have been signed and if there is anyone here who still thinks that signing was a sound one.....well, there simply can't be.

[a700hitter]

The Drew signing blew up in our faces. Instead of giving the team a shot in the arm, he sank us and helped the whole thing spiral out of control.

[reYoukilis]

If we were to get him we should have gotten him in the beginning of the year. I was for that and dont think I was proven wrong. To get him after XB had already gotten used to the position seemed like bad mojo. Another count against him was that he wasnt warmed up enough, however once he got goin he WAS hitting.

[redsoxrules]

This team sucked period. Drew had nothing to do with it. XB sucking ass has also nothing to do with Drew. Get over it FFS.

Logic and facts in one post.

 

How dare you!!!!

The second baseman and SS sucking had nothing to do with the team sucking? Why do they get exemptions?

You're not always right, get off your high horse.
