According to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal and Jon Morosi, the shortstop is drawing interest from a handful of teams.
The Pirates, Red Sox and Tigers are among the teams interested in Drew, according to major-league sources.
However, ESPN's Buster Olney tweeted the Red Sox and Pirates are not in on the Drew sweepstakes.
Source: Contrary to report, Red Sox have not spoken to Arizona about Stephen Drew at all.

Drew is hitting .192 this season, though he seems to be moving well after returning from a gruesome ankle injury suffered last season.
The 29-year-old likely will not have his $10 million option picked up by the D-backs next season, which would in turn make him a free agent. Knowing that, the D-backs may be motivated to get something for Drew now rather than let him walk for nothing.
Without Drew the D-backs could start a combination of Willie Bloomquist and John McDonald at shortstop.
