Newsbreakers
January 8, 2009
Jason Varitek is still a target of the Red Sox even after the club signed Josh Bard, according to MLB.com. "Jason is still out there. As I said at the beginning of the offseason, he's been a really important guy here to this organization and by no means have we shut the door on him," GM Theo Epstein said.

Our View:Varitek is not a bat to target this season no matter where he ends up as his efforts last year were very poor considering his .220 batting average and 122 K. He is nothing more than a lower level second catcher this season.
January 6, 2009
There has been very little interest on the market for Jason Varitek and the Boston Globe believes the Red Sox are the frontrunners to sign him.

Our View:The Red Sox will continue to look at options at catcher, but they are reportedly working on a two-year deal to bring back Varitek.
January 4, 2009
The Providence Journal believes that Jason Varitek and the Red Sox are working on a deal that is believed to be for two years.

Our View:Varitek and his agent, Scott Boras, were originally seeking a four-year deal worth $40 million but it is becoming apparent that the market will not provide that. The 36-year-old hit just .220 over 131 games last season.
December 25, 2008
The Boston Herald reports the Red Sox re-signing Jason Varitek is a longshot due to the team's hard feelings toward agent Scott Boras after the Mark Teixeira contract negotiations.

Our View:The Red Sox will certainly add a catcher or two this offseason with George Kottaras the only notable option on their roster, but it sounds like Varitek will likely go elsewhere.
December 16, 2008
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports states that the Mets are divided as to whether or not to pursue catcher Jason Varitek. Some club officials feel he would be a great asset to the pitching staff while others are turned off by his anemic .220 batting average of 2008.

Our View:The Mets would need to move Brian Schneider to add Varitek, and the Washington Post indicated last week that the Mets and Red Sox discussed a trade involving Schneider. It is believed the Mets are open to trading Ramon Castro as well.
