It's time for the Yankees to cut ties with Stephen Drew

All season we've been waiting for Drew to get better and he hasn't. It's time for the Yankees to go their separate ways.

Ever since the Yankees lost Robinson Cano to free agency, they've struggled to find a suitable replacement at second base. Last season, they brought in Brian Roberts to man second, but after a few months they cut him, and made a trade for Stephen Drew. It was hard to imagine someone playing worse at the position than Roberts had, but Drew, forced to play second for the first time in his career, didn't turn out to be the upgrade that the Yankees were looking for.
