KT has mentioned liking him before, and obviously Depodesta has a hardy for him, so my guess is, if Alderson's original comments were true about actually intending to acquire players that will inf act HELP this team (a crazy concept, I know!), then Drew will be signed.
PS: If Drew IS signed, I will willingly eat crow about us not spending money (although that would still leave us with roughly 20 million unspent dollars...)
