Spring Training 2010 will bring a new role for Jason Varitek – no longer will he be the clubs primary catcher, as Victor Martinez will assume those duties.  Red Sox GM Theo Epstein & Co. acquired Martinez in a summer trading deadline move that helped bolster the Red Sox offense.  Martinez slid right into the [...]

Jason Varitek will be back for a 14th season in a Red Sox uniform at Fenway Park in Boston.  The Red Sox declined a $5 million club option to keep Varitek, but Varitek decided to exercise his $3 million option to remain a Red Sox for what presumably will be his last year in a [...]

The Boston Red Sox granted George Kottaras’ request to be released on Wednesday.  The Red Sox are all set at the catcher position with Victor Martinez starting and Jason Varitek coming back as the team’s back-up (Tek exercised his $3 million player option last week).

Over the next few weeks – besides rooting for the Angels to beat the Yankees – we’re going to take a detailed look at the performance of certain Red Sox players during the 2009 MLB schedule.  First up – the catchers:
And 1st up in the Catcher category – Victor Martinez.
Victor Martinez lived up to the [...]

Tek’s return to the Red Sox became official on Friday when he passed his physical with flying colors. Tek will make $5 million for the 2009 MLB season. The Red Sox can exercise a club option to keep him in Beantown through the 2010 MLB season at a $5 million salary. If the Red Sox [...]

It took long enough, but we finally have our answer – – the feisty one is back!
The Red Sox and Jason Varitek agreed upon a 2-year contract that will keep Tek in Boston for at least the 2009 MLB season and potentially the 2010 MLB season. Varitek will earn $5 million for the upcoming season. [...]
