Red Sox and Jason Varitek Come to Terms
The Boston Red Sox and captain Jason Varitek reportedly agreed to a contract on Friday, meeting a team-imposed deadline.
According to the Boston Globe, the deal is for one year at $5 million, with the club holding a $5 million option for 2010. If the Red Sox choose not to pick up that option, Varitek has the choice of remaining with the club for whom he has played his entire career at $3 million.
Per team policy, the deal will not be officially announced until Varitek completes a physical.
Varitek endured a forgettable season at the plate last year, batting a career- low .220 with 13 home runs and 43 RBI in 131 games.
Originally selected by Seattle in the first round (14th overall) of the 1994 draft, Varitek was dealt to the Red Sox on July 31, 1997, along with pitcher Derek Lowe, in exchange for closer Heathcliff Slocumb in one of the most lopsided trades in recent memory.
A three-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner in 2005, Varitek has appeared in 1,330 career games, compiling a .263 average with 161 homers and 654 RBI.
