Boston MA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Red Sox and free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew have agreed on a one-year contract through the end of this season, the team announced Wednesday. Drew takes the 25-man roster spot of left-hander Felix Doubront, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strain in his pitching shoulder. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but multiple outlets reported that Drew will received around $10 million -- the prorated portion of the $14.1 million offer he declined last November. Drew batted .253 with 13 homers and a .333 on-base percentage in 124 games for the Red Sox last season, then started all 16 postseason games in Bostons run to the World Series title. Teams were reluctant to sign the eight-year veteran in the offseason because they would have had to surrender a high draft pick since Drew received a qualifying offer from the Red Sox. Boston will not have to forfeit a draft pick for re-signing Drew because he was its own free agent. Doubront started Tuesdays game against Toronto, a 7-4 Boston loss. He left in the fifth inning and said later he felt numbness in his shoulder, described by the Red Sox on Wednesday as "fatigue." Serge Ibaka Raptors Jersey .

He was injured in Seattles overtime victory against Green Bay a week ago for the NFC championship. He left the game but returned, and says there is no way he wont face New England next Sunday.After delivering a message to U.S. troops that he is banged-up, just like you guys probably are, and I am going to fight through it, Thomas relayed a story from when he was a youngster playing Little League.A ground ball hit him in the mouth and his lip stuck to his braces. His father took Thomas to the emergency room at a hospital for treatment, and then asked his son if he wanted to go back to the baseball game. His immediate reply was of course.This is me, Thomas said. I love competing. I am just glad we are reliving our dreams. It feels like a movie.Thomas added that tackling the likes of star tight end Rob Gronkowski will be a challenge he will meet in the Super Bowl. If his approach is strong, Thomas adds, his physical status wont be an issue.If my mental is right, my body just mirrors that, said Thomas, who returned to practice Friday. Its a lot to deeal with, my first major injury.dddddddddddd I got the big picture.When I come alive nothing is limited. I can still play fearless and throw my body around and whatever happens, happens.Seattles other All-Pro defensive back, cornerback Richard Sherman, has an elbow injury that he also dismissed as a non-factor for next Sunday. The Seahawks know they need both Thomas and Sherman as close to full strength as possible against the potent Patriots.If the Legion of Boom is not, well, booming the opposition, particularly in this matchup, Seattle will be in trouble.Richard practiced in all the practices and he looks to be fine, coach Pete Carroll said. He still has an elbow to take care of, but hes practiced well. Earl practiced (Saturday), the day before and got the last day of practice in and looked fine. Both those guys are scheduled to play and should be OK. They have to deal with their issues, but theyll be playing in the football game.Thomas cant wait. He sees his team on the verge of a memorable achievement.I am too young to be thinking about legacy right now, the 25-year-old Thomas said, but sometimes you dont have to say anything because your work speaks for itself. So we definitely have that on the table.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
