Red Sox Offer Varitek Minor League Deal

http://0rz.tw/0k6ly

The Red Sox have offered Jason Varitek the chance to come to Spring Training
and compete, but they aren’t offering the 39-year-old catcher a roster spot,
Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. Varitek seems likely to choose between
accepting his longtime team’s invitation and retiring. If he does report to
Spring Training, he’ll do so with the knowledge that Jarrod Saltalamacchia
and Kelly Shoppach are likely to break camp with the Red Sox.

Varitek, a Scott Boras client who earned $2MM in 2011, doesn’t appear to be
seeking opportunities elsewhere, Heyman reports. The Red Sox would have
interest in hiring Varitek for a non-playing role at some point, but it's not
as though he's unable to produce at the Major League level. He posted a
.221/.300/.423 line with 11 home runs in 250 plate appearances in 2011,
though he stopped just 14% of stolen base attempts against him. "Our hope is
that Tek will always be a part of the Red Sox in some way," GM Ben Cherington
told reporters last month.
