In , Drese was, somewhat surprisingly, placed on waivers after a slow start. This followed shortly after a mid-game, dugout scuffle between Drese and catcher Rod Barajas (apparently sparked by Drese's displeasure regarding pitch selection).

He signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves on August 3, , and was assigned to the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, but he was released in March . Drese signed with the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League on April 24, 2008. On June 27, he signed a minor league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates and became a free agent at the end of the season.
