Jason we hardly knew ya. But seriously Jason will have a job.

Closing? It's not been open at that price anywhere outside Boston. Sign the contract already. You're a 36 year old catcher coming off a horrible season.

He will sign. Maybe a 4% raise or something.... You know.. the economy...

i love you jason

Varitek is getting up there in age, but the Sox offered him arbitration, Boras screwed Varitek by telling him not to take it.

Dude... the posing really has gotten old on this site. Get original.

This guy is worth a contract, he is easily one of the best catchers in baseball. This one year where his BA tanked was most likely an anomale. Guy was going through some family strife and we all know how those kind of things can spill over into your work, friendships, et cetera. I highly doubt we're going to see numbers like that from him in '09. but at 36, a multi-year deal beyond two is going to be hard to come by. Nobody is going to sign him for his hitting or to platoon him at first base. The guy is a stud catcher and calls a great game and that's where his value lies. Posada was damned fortunate to get the deal he got, but that shouldn't set the market. I love Jorge but the Yankees were a little trigger-happy on that four-year deal.

Boras is crazy, fair market value for a old catcher with really bad #s, I think not.

He'll get a 2-year deal from the Sox. Maybe $18 million.

V-Tek will sign with Los Diablos Rojos del M??xico for a Singapore dollar and a life-time supply of Depends.

****?

"M??xico"

MEXICO, compadres.

The V Man has a condo in Punta Mita.

Bora$$ was wrong on this one, not taking anything away from Teck's game calling...

Ur right starz. I still think they will sign him for 2 years. Not sure if at 10 per year though..

He had a phenominal career for the Sox- but he simply is not
an everyday MLB catcher anymore.

The sox should offer him a YEAR at 12 mil....
-as a 'reward' for past service-
if he takes it - fine
if not.....he's welcome to come back and coach when he's done playing

I've got a timeshare in **** la Chocha.

The "C" is for Catcher!

This guy has the right attitude and will land a job.

That would just be too bad that a Boras client ended up screwing the pooch!

Kinda like an early christmas present or a birthday BJ!

Boras annouced teks last contract, when they made him cap, on christmas day. expect the same for tex and tek
