Red Sox like Rangers catcher
The Rangers might provide the Red Sox a chance to acquire a young catcher this offseason. The Sox really like Taylor Teagarden, a righthanded hitter, but the Rangers might hang on to him. That could allow the Rangers to deal Jarrod Saltalamacchia to the Sox. The Sox tried to acquire Saltalamacchia at last season's trading deadline, but the big switch-hitting catcher went to Texas from Atlanta in the Mark Teixeira deal. The Sox might just have to give up a top pitching prospect to solidify their future catching depth.

The Sox need to acquire a catcher of the future, then sign Varitek to a two-year deal. This could do it.

I've been talking about Teagarden for almost a year now. He's buried on the Ranger's depth chart at like 3rd or 4th catcher so he'd come cheaper than Salty.

I would give up Salty for a good pitching prospect since the Rangers are stacked at every other position.

Teagarden is off limits. He and Ramirez are our guys for the future.

i'm not knocking varitek. he's had a decent career. he may be a good defensive catcher, but he can't hit worth a crap. and teams today can't afford to have a lack of hitting in too many positioins. right now the sox have that problem in three areas right up the middle. Catcher, SS and CF. The bottom of that lineup is crap.
