BOSTON – Catcher Jason Varitek exercised his $3 million option to stay with the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, choosing to remain with the team as a backup to Victor Martinez rather than become a free agent. Boston declined to exercise its $5 million club option on Monday, and Varitek then had two days to decide whether to exercise his player option at the lower price. The 37-year-old Varitek was

Terry Francona answered some questions from fans today on NESN.com and addressed the issue of Jacon Varitek catching Tim Wakefield next season. I don’t think that probably makes a whole lot of sense. We have always used the other catcher to catch Wake, and Victor [ Martinez ] did a very good job with him. We will probably use more of a conventional rotation with our catchers in 2010. And when...

Ken Rosenthal sent Red Sox Nation abuzz with a rumor that the team is trying to deal Mike Lowell even if they have to pick up half his salary. With Victor Martinez being available to play first and Youk's ability to play third, Lowell's hip injury is a problem the team can solve. Lowell is in the last year of his contract so he will not be a long term liability for the Red Sox if he is not traded...

Its a trend that's been going on for some time now. I'm not sure when exactly it started, maybe it began with the Jose Contreras bidding, or maybe its part of the post 2004 paranoia that should have been banished last October. Regardless, I will never understand the fixation that most Yankees fans seem to have on the Boston Red Sox. Whenever we're discussing a potential move for the Yankees, the debate...

Um...a lot? FanGraphs converts WAR to a dollar value, by way of attempting to estimate what players would be worth on the open market. Naturally, after the exceptional season Joe Mauer had in 2009, that number is positively extortionate . Year Age WAR Dollars MM:WAR 2004 21 1.3 $4.0 $3.08 2005 22 3.5 $12.0 $3.43 2006 23 6.1 $22.4 $3.67 2007 24 3.0 $12.3 $4.10 2008 25 5.9 $26.4 $4.48 2009 26 8.2 $36.8...

Many of us have returned to card collecting after a break. For me it was getting married and having children. Less time, less disposable income and just being plain knackered. Now my children are at an age where collecting can be a shared experience, there is a little left over at the end of the month and well frankly sleep is overrated. So it was great to find the blog Hey That's Mine. Derek returned...

Jason Varitek’s hot bat early in the season appeared to justify the 2-year contract the Red Sox handed him in the offseason. However, his production has nosedived late this year. Since the acquisition of star catcher Victor Martinez, Varitek has hit just .134 while striking out one out of every three at-bats. Many wondered whether the Martinez acquisition would affect the playing time of third...
