Per ESPNews and WCBS Radio.

 

Hard link and article when I see one.

Any info on the dollars/years?

I don't know the money, but I expect it to be a 5-year deal as apparently the Mets were going 4, and the Sox needed to trump that.

 

EDIT: ESPN: 4/36

 

The Red Sox, stalled in their efforts to trade left fielder Manny Ramirez, are closing in on their second major off-season acquisition, nearing agreement with free-agent shortstop Julio Lugo on a four-year, $36 million contract.

 

Earlier Tuesday, the Sox announced the signing of outfielder J.D. Drew to a five-year, $70 million deal. Their lineup will improve with the additions of Lugo and Drew ? and again will be one of the most potent in the American League if the team keeps Ramirez.

That lineup is going to be putting up some runs, then again the Sox lineups usually do that.

Lugo has speed, maybe he should be the one leading off, him at first base waiting to steal second my help Youk's chances of drawing a walk, he also has more power than lugo. It's a pretty nice line up, but this isn't a video game where you can simply turn off the injuries button . . .

If the Yankees were throwing this kind of money around right now, people'd be screaming bloody murder.
