One general manager said that many people at the general managers? meeting, after hearing that J.D. Drew would sign with Boston, urged the Dodgers to file a tampering charge.
?We haven?t reached a decision yet,? Ned Colletti, the Dodgers? general manager, said by telephone yesterday before leaving the winter meetings in Orlando, Fla.
?I did my due diligence,? Boras said in a telephone interview. ?There were a number of teams that need a 3, 4 or 5 hitter, and J. D. was the only center fielder. I went to the Dodgers a week before the opt-out date and had lunch with Colletti. I had not yet met with J. D. I said if you want to talk about it, we are prepared to talk because J. D. has enjoyed his time in L. A.?
