According to Peter Gammons, Trot Nixon will be signing a 1 year $3 million dollar contract with the Cleveland Indians. To me, this makes it more apparent that the Red Sox and J.D. Drew will more than likely get their deal done after all.
Nixon had spent his entire playing career in Boston. His latter years were marred with injuries but he was still an integral cog in the Red Sox machine. His defense in right field will sorely be missed. Nixon joins former Red Sox closer, Keith Foulke, as the latest former Sox players to sign in Cleveland.
