The Red Sox declined the $5 million option on Jason Varitek, but the catcher can stay with Boston by exercising his $3 million player option (he can make up the difference in incentives). Unless Victor Martinez gets hurt, there’s little chance of Jason meeting the incentives.
I wouldn’t mind seeing the captain go to a team with a developing pitching staff. He would be very good for a team like the Marlins or even the Brewers. No offense, but he’ll call a good game and give the pitchers some confidence in throwing pitches in the dirt.
Via MetsBlog.com, who is afraid that the Mets might sign Jason if he becomes a free agent.
