"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BOSTON (AP)  The Boston Red Sox obtained third baseman Kelly Johnson from the New York Yankees for shortstop Stephen Drew on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Drew hit .253 for the World Series champion Red Sox last year but did not accept a $14.1 million qualifying offer. He became a restricted free agent but any team signing him would have had to give Boston a draft choice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So he was still available when the Red Sox re-signed him on May 22.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He was an upgrade on defense over rookie Xander Bogaerts, who moved to third base. But he hit just .176 with four homers and 11 RBIs in 39 games.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will likely play second base for New York.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Johnson is hitting .219 with six homers and 22 RBIs in 77 games and is on the disabled list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Boston also sent cash to New York.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was one of four trades the last-place Red Sox made Thursday before the trade deadline. They sent left-hander Jon Lester and outfielder Jonny Gomes to the Oakland Athletics, right-hander John Lackey to the St. Louis Cardinals and left-handed reliever Andrew Miller to the Baltimore Orioles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''Once the Lester and Lackey stuff got done,'' Boston general manager Ben Cherington said, ''we shifted our focus more toward Miller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;''The Drew thing really just came together really late,'' he said.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
