Pitchers and Catcher
Jon Heyman reports.
Tek would be the fourth catcher in camp, along with Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Ryan Lavarnway, and Kelly Shoppach.
I think I'd be a little put out, if I were Salty, who showed his stuff pretty well last year.
But I'm me, and I've decided to trust the new regime's judgment (for now), so I'm for it if it helps.
Respected lo
ngtime Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek has been invited by the team to come to camp as a non-roster player with only an outside chance to make the team, and Varitek seems likely to decide between accepting that invitation or retiring, people familiar with his situation said. Mostly out of respect for the iconic Varitek, they let him know the door is open, and they are giving him time to decide. Varitek, 39, who's played his entire big-league career in Boston starting with one at-bat in 1997 and helped them win two World Series, does not appear to be considering looking for a job elsewhere.
