Boras, Sox expected to talk into afternoon
One week after Jason Varitek received a team letter that effectively served as an ultimatum, the Red Sox and their catcher are expected to talk into the afternoon hours today in hopes of settling their winter-long stalemate.
A resolution on the matter still is expected by the end of the day.
According to a baseball source earlier this week, the Sox composed the letter to Varitek last Thursday, Jan. 22, and sent it to the player and his agent, Scott Boras, by registered mail. According to another baseball source yesterday, the letter was delivered to the player and his agent at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 23, and gave the player one week to reply, a precise deadline the team intended to enforce at a moment when negotiations appeared most tense.
Late last night and this morning, the same source indicated that the sides expected to go into the late morning and early afternoon in hopes of resolving the matter. Boras, who is based on the West Coast, is expected to contact club officials today to accept or decline the offer.
It is unclear whether the Sox are at all willing to tweak the offer presented to Varitek, which presented the player with two choices as last known. Varitek had the ability to select either a guaranteed one-year deal for $5 million or a one-year deal with a dual option, the latter of which contained a $5 million club option for 2010 or a $3 million player option.
In the latter scenario, the Sox would have the first right to retain the player, meaning Varitek's deal would be for a guaranteed base salary of $10 million over two years. If the club were to decline its rights and Varitek then opted to exercise the option, the player's base salary for the two seasons (2009-10) would be a guaranteed $8 million.

Whatever...does anyone really care anymore? 2 million people have lost their jobs in the last 3 months, so adding an aging catcher to the scrap heap of the freshly unemployed should make me care...Please Mazz your overwhelming fixation on this story is ridiculous.
Oy vey!!! Enough already!!! Get this resolved or find another catcher. Is Kelly Shoppach available from Cleveland???? I realize our pitching staff values Jason's abilities, but no is no.
uggg....
Theo, please don't budge so much as an inch on this deal. Time to take a stand against Boras. If Tek wants to play here he'd have signed already.
who cares $5 million for a guy who can't hit his weight anymore. Take it or leave it and I hope he leaves it. Veritek is done.
NO NO No NO No LET HIM GO
what a jerk. thousands of americans are losing their jobs, and varitek, fresh off of fleecing the sox for $20 million over the last two years to drag his dead corpse into the batter's box thinks $5 million is an insult? i call that overpaying.
This is a poor attempt to save face after the deadline that was based on "a baseball source" didn't pan out. Please give the readers a liitle more credit when manufacturing headlines in the future.
NO NO No NO No LET HIM GO
Who cares anymore.. The guy went from one of the fans/media favorites to
a greedy narrow minded idiot. Every since he started playing the field his personal
and professional life has suffered tremendously. GOOD BYE JASON!
Karma at its best.
bye bye captain groundout
The Sox paid Tek well with a 4 year deal back when there was no one else interested. This time they're being smarter. Tek should have went to arbitration, but instead listened to Bora$.
The Clock is Ticking and Scott Boras and Tek are talking to the Red Sox.
I hope Tek will be with the Sox this season.
I Hope We Hear Something Later This Afternoon.
The Waiting Is A Pain In The Neck.
I'm tiring of this whole bit. At this point, RSox should cut bait. Tek is being unreasonable. Sox need to move on. Sorry to see you go Tek, but everyone is replaceable. Sox made him a more than fair offer that no one else would even come close to offering. Hard to feel sorry for him at 5mil. sorry.
If 'Tek holds out he is worse than Manny!
What's there to discuss? It's yes or no. What a ridiculous, melodramatic, self-absorbed (Boras and Varitek) process.

If Tek doesn't take this deal; he is out of his mind. There is no leverage and he will not get anything better going forward. Market sets your value not you or your agent, come on Tek...
Tek, I guess you and Boras have been through "a lot" together, but sometimes, things just come to their natural end, you know? Is Boras really looking out for you, Big Guy? Let's just take a catcher who's already close to the end of his career. Let's call him 'Jason'. His stats are down, he's asking for lots of money, he's already earned close to $30 mil with a team and fan base that really, oh, liked him. And this Jason, he's had months to come to a decision, yet he's toying with everyone, supposedly on the advice of this confidante named Boras. So let's talk about you, Tek. What's the problem, really? Does Boras mean more to you than everyone else? Get real, dude.
Just accept the money....it's already too much for your skills, contribution and increasingly self-centered nature.
All right already.......enough of this nonsense !!!! No way he's going to sit out the season. No matter how this turns out, it's going to leave a sour taste in everybody's mouth and Mr. BorASS is the one to blame. Tek should give him his walking papers....
More drama than General Hospital.
Give him 20% more if he fires Boras.
Take the money and get on with it Tek... You're washed up, so just be glad that you're getting paid the big bucks. I'm losing my respect for you...
So much for the line in the sand. Boras steps over it and Sox draw another line. Keep repeating until Sox management fall over cliff leaving Boras with Sox wallet in hand.
This is another classic example of Boras being the greedy pig. How many players is Boras going to make look like greedy pigs ? There is only one common denominator and its him.

Short memory . . . db said tek was paid " over the last two years to drag his dead corpse into the batter's box . . ."
In 2007 he hit .255, pretty good for a catcher . . . but that WAS when his corpse was still alive
EXCLUSIVE SCOOP:
I am in contact with an insider listening in on the Boras/Vartitek/Red Sox negotiations:
SOX: "Do you want him to shoot you now, or wait 'til later?"
BORAS: "Oh, no you don't! I demand that he shoot me now!"
More as this develops!
Nice work tony on the 8:30am deadline. its all over espn that this is a joke, there is no deadline. your sources are as horrendous as your reporting.
Oh my god, this is ridiculous. Good riddance!! If they give even an inch they are imbeciles. Varitek is not worth any of this, and it's obvious he's got his head firmly planted in Heidi Watney's mons pubis because he is nowhere near reality if he thinks this offer is a slap in the face.
When Varitek comes to the plate I find myself longing for the days of watching Darren Lewis's daily attempts at futility. For five million a year, most of us would spit shine Theo's shoes every day as an added bonus.
He had a whole week to made his mind up. I guess he figure he worth more than what the Sox offer him. The Sox will probably give him a couple of million more. I guess his ego need to be uplifted.
the saga should have been over months ago just sign now tek
What happened to the deadline? Are the Sox are caving in to Boras again?
Everyone here keeps buying into the Red Sox propaganda. The organization leaks information to the press only to win public support for their more contentious negotiations. This a billion dollar organization that, admittedly has a ton of success, but also bleeds money from the their fans.
Varitek should sign for the $5 million but he should also and has the right to demand more from an organization that is churning profits at a substantial rate. His game calling skills and defense are questionable and his offense is below average, But he has the right to demand as much money as he can.
Take the money and get on with it Tek... You're washed up, so just be glad that you're getting paid the big bucks. I'm losing my respect for you...
Sox FO: go all out . . sign Salty and get Hanley Ramirez anyway you can . . Tek can walk if he doesn't want the $8 mil you are guaranteeing him . .

I can't believe the amount of money Boras has cost Tek ... millions over his career. Don't forget, Tek got re-drafted once and started to sit out another year when drafted by Seattle. Now he didn't go for arbitration, which cost Tek more. It's crazy. Today Boras is going to go round and round, all day long, and in the end take the offer that's on the table.
How does this guy buffalo his clients into thinking that because it takes him so long to negotiate a contract, he's doing a good job? If Tek is so smart, why does he use Boras for an agent? He could have done this himself and saved 5%!

Uh.... Boras is aware he has exactly zero leverage, right? And the Red Sox are aware of this too, right? So what the hell are they talking about?

This is INSANE. Captain STRIKEOUT should be happy to get 1 year. He does not deserve $5 m for his play last year. He is a rally killer. His bat is slow and he is OLD! We need a new prospect. Just like Timlin last year. Why bring back someone who can't perform.
I get a kick out of agents who wait until the very last day to make a deal. Tek had a meeting with Henry over a week ago. By now he knows there is no market for him. He was overpaid the past two years and should be thrilled with any amount over $3M. Take the $5M for one year, prove yourself and show up with a good attitude. Don't blow your legacy now.

I hope they work something out. Boras is slime, but he's just doing his job, which is to get top dollar for his player. And let's face it, the Sox really don't have an everyday catcher as of this moment.
Varitek needs to put his best foot forward and just sign the contract. He has already destroyed what little believability people had in anything he has previously stated by dragging the process on for weeks. A quick acceptance ,would in my mind, have confirmed he knew he "goofed" and take his medicine as a man. He has damaged his good standing with the Boston fan base and the best thing for him to do is humble himself and move on. Most will forgive and forget as soon as he hits a homerun or drives in an important run.

Folks, How's Tek gonna pay alimony making only $5,000,000.00? We wouldn't want him distracted by financial woes this season, now would we?
So much for the line in the sand! Boras steps over the line and Sox draw new line. Keep repeating until Sox management fall off cliff leaving Boras with Sox wallet in hand. A pox on both their houses!

I would like to first report to this website that I Joe Mauer, am planning to leave the Twins organization as a free agent in 2 years and then plan on signing a nice contract with the Boston Red Sox... So all you have to do is survive 2 years with Tek then Super Joe will save you
I would like to say that in 2 years I plan on leaving the twins organization and plan to come play for the red sox
5 million is too much. Please let him go.
Tek has been a great defender behind the plate and a horse who can really call a game. To me, that value is a bit overrated and the sox can not afford two weak offensive positions(ss,c) anymore. At 5 mill, hes getting a generous deal and if he doesnt want it then.... sayonara!!
Varitek has long been my favorite Red Sox player and I think the Sox could have offered him a two year deal at around 12-17 million total and been all right. They shouldn't name a "Captain" on this team, but since they did they should treat him with the respect a captain deserves. That said, it is tough to feel too sorry for a guy who is being offered 5 million bucks for a summers work. I know, I know. . .it's a business. Still though. . .there are people losing their homes. . .
Come on Scott.! At least buy Jason some breakfast considering what he has to eat given your expert advice!

It's a poor investment. He is an overvalued and rapidly deprciating assett.
Around MLB 1B and 2B players are weeping at missing out on Teks weak grounders to the right side of the infield...

Yes I believe that V-Tek did have a bad offensive year, but look at what he does behind the plate. He is one of the best catchers there is in baseball today. I hope V-Tek and the Sox can make an agreement.
Some harsh comments here for someone we looked forward to seeing at every game. His ability to call a game has helped the team for the last eight years when some of the highly-paid offensive players were simply picking up a check (make your own list). I'm still going to buy a Varitek shirt and a Lowell one while I'm at it.
Let's be honest about his abilities, please.
I'm gonna miss knowing that I could get up from the TV and hit the fridge whenever Tek is up with 2 outs.

Who does Tek think he is? Sit the year out, Tek -- see how much sympathy you'll get from fans who are also unemployed.
Does anyone know where the $5 million would rank Varitek in pay among catchers? I suspect it would place him in the top 5 or 10. Not bad, considering his hitting performance for the last year and a half. Jason and Scott need to get back in touch with reality and get over their egos already.
If not..... see ya and thanks for the memories!!
Get this .198 groundout hitter(less) out of Boston.
Bring in the kids and go get Salty in a month or two.
Bye Bye Jason... please go away... I still have no idea why you were ever granted a "C" for your jersey.
In NO WAY did you ever deserve to be the captain of the Boston Red Sox.
You just aren't that special. So GO AWAY !
I love it when we get constant updates of billionaires arguing with millionaires over how to split profits derived from playing a child's game.
Keep up the good work!

Even if he signs he will feel like he was ripped off and will become a cancer in the clubhouse. Time to cut Tek loose for good.
I'm gonna miss knowing that I could get up from the TV and hit the fridge whenever Tek is up with 2 outs.
I'm tired of seeing him go up to the batters box take three swings, strike out and walk back to the dugout stonefaced. Show some freaking emotion! Time to move on.
ball players are greedy and out of touch with the rest of the country,,who wants to see a ballplayer whining over millions when people are in finiancial ruins, they should pay these guys on a performanced based system...on a yearly basis and tax the hell out of these idiots who think they are better then your average joe...
I have to say that I am just so distraught...i LOVE varitek---but is he really being greedy or is there something else behind it...yeah, he didn't have a good season last year, but he is our captain--listen to the men on his team, they love him and his leadership...what is going on? more than anything i hope that he is still our captain at the end of today---keeping my fingers crossed
Tek would have been better served to not employ Borris. He could have taken arbitration, made $10 million or so and not paid a cent in agent fees. instead he's looking at $5 mill, with an agent cut and hard ball negotiations with the team Tek loves, who hates his agent..
Borris is a slime
Both parties need each other and, as a Sox fan, you should want Tek back. In spite of his .200 batting average, the Sox almost went to the WS last year with a hurt Papi and Lowell. The AL East is going to be even stronger this year and the Sox can't afford to go into this season with Bard (or one of the other young catchers they are rumored to trade for). It is difficult to quantify what Tek means to the pitching staff, by why take the chance. Tek is a known commodity (good or bad) and insurance for the Sox. Start the season without Tek and the Sox could find themselves in a big hole...then try signing him to less than $10 million. The Sox have spent much worse $$ in the past (Lugo, Clement, Renteria).
Excuses, Excuses I know....You don't hear about this much... but dosn't anybody think Tek's 08 off season was a direct result of his divorce? Who you going to replace him with? A rook, or an unproven .260 hitter lacking defensive skills and knowledge of Sox pitchers? No way Jason has as bad a hitting year as last year. I take my chances with Jason Veritek thank you. Pay the man!
As a life long Yankee fan I hope that Varitek accepts the Sox offer and resigns. We need a hole in that hard hitting lineup and Varitek would easily supply just that.
Ken Van
Intangibles do count! If pitching is the name of the game, ask the sox hurlers who they would like to throw to off the mound! Ask them how much Varitek matters.
Doesn't two World Championships behind the plate count for anything?
The Sox will suffer without Tek unless a deal is made ASAP.
SIGN HIM UP!
Varitek has been a valued contributor, but enough is enough. They are offering him a fair deal, which he should take or leave now. It's time to move one way or another.
WOW...tough crowd. How about a little support for our Captain who has been a man that holds the pitching staff together, stood behind Lowell when Lowell's contract was up. Actually, he was quite vocal about that. He had a rough year last year, I'll give you that and he did seem greedy in not taking the $10M deal. But, now think about this, don't we all think we are worth more than we get in our own jobs and careers!!!!!!!!! I hope they work it out and he stays. He is very valuable to the team.
i think he is being unreasonable, tek while one of my favorites couldnt hit a beach ball and truthfully isnt worth 5 mil. I hope he declines the offer and we get salty or teagarden!!
Listen to the fans on this one Sox brass. Tek destroyed any goodwill he had left within the last few weeks. Time to move on....
This a no brainer. Where else is he going to go? The RS are doing you a favor Tek!
NO ONE ELSE IS INTERESTED !!! Boras is stringing you along.
With his tail between his legs, Varitek will agree to play for the Sox at a paltry 5 Million Bucks. How will he survive ?? His role will be significantly diminished, so don't be surprised if Josh Bard is your every day catcher, while Tek straps on the gear only when Wakefield is pitching. The first thing Francona should do, is remove the "C" from his uniform. He has proven, like so many before him, that money is more important than the good of the team. It's 5 Million, Jason !! Suck it up and buy generic brands like the rest of us.
Lets even things out around the league for the players. We'll call it Borasball...every player needs to stuff their pockets with the cash that they will earn that day and play all 9 innings. It would be pretty interesting to watch A-rod shag ground balls with the $$$ he's got stuffed in the undies that Giambi let him borrow. With that much cash, he might even choke when it's 27 - 3.
Tek will get an offer of 7 mil for one year and a player option for another - Boras wins again and the Sox get a really good coach for the money - he can't hit so that's what they're paying for....probably a good idea for a team without a catcher.
Baseball isn't for the fans anymore anyway...the Sox won't get one red cent from me till the 'dogs and beer become somewhat in line with reality - until then, they get watched when I have nothing else to do.
C'mon Tek--take the deal. Yeah, with this deal you'll only be making about 1000 times more than I make in a year, so I should be pissed about how you're dragging your feet, but you need to finish out your career--retiring early is not the way. Get the year + option, have a good year, try your trading prospects next year! And think how much product you can buy with 5 million...
Bring in Saltalamacchia. The only downside about him is that it's going to cost more in fabric to spell his last name instead of "V-A-R-I-T-E-K"
Wonder if Heidi is the "baseball source" :)
For crying out loud, this isn't the Middle East Peace Process..why is this taking almost an entire freaking day to resolve?
Regardless of what salary he takes to come back, it's going to be
brutal at Fenway this year every time he strikes, pops, or grounds
out...
I can't stand all of you fair-weather fans. The guy had ONE bad offensive years. Baseball fans repeatedly lament the fact that players no longer serve their entire careers on one team, but all of you are ready to demonize a guy who was the heart and soul of the TWO WORLD CHAMPION Red Sox teams. It's disgusting to watch you try to bring Tek down.
For those of you who have been saying that Varitek deserves to be let go because he was "greedy" or disloyal to the team, remember that the ONLY reason he turned down arbitration was because he didn't get a commitment that he would actually be kept around for two years. He's a player in the last few years of his career. All the guy wants is to end it with the team he loves.
The best case scenario is that he takes the two year deal and the Sox use the time for him to mentor a new catcher. Then Tek can move into the coaching staff. Imagine that... a player/coach who spent his entire career serving one team, one fan base, and one city.
Tek, don't be an idiot, take the money, where else would you go....
Your digging a huge hole with the fans, that you will never get out, stop thinking, and start acting safe face and take the deal. If not this 50 year fan of the Boston Red Sox bids you adieu...
OUR TEAM is nice enough to give you 5millions in Gauranty money, the way i see it take it if you're not that dumb or leave it if you think your agent is smarter than you are. How can one man take money so seriously, don't forget legacy, hall of fame, be able to play at Fenway Park worth more than the extra couple millions that you going to earning for the next couple of year. NOT to mention You are 37, if somehow you win a comeback player of the year award this season, im sure there more money to be make somewhere else. even still no one will offer you a longterm deal next season even if you'll hit .350 or .400 this season.
This is being dragged out to the utmost.
I want Tek back, but should it really be this hard?
If Varitek takes the one year, it shows what he's all about, which is exactly what all Boras clients are about: money and only money. He wants to stay with the Sox, but he's insulted by $5 million for one year? I should be so insulted. It's time to cut ties with him. If they can soldier on without Manny's bat (and insufferable attitude) then they can "cowboy up" without their .220 hitting backstop. Thanks for the memories, Jason. I wish you'd have been reasonable, but since you weren't, don't let the door hit you on the way out because I know you couldn't hit the door any more than you could hit an average pitcher.
Tek, you're breaking my heart! Where is the man who earned that "C" ? You're more than just a player;
If Tek wants more $$ tell him to ask Borass for some of the commission $$ he got from Mark T's contract with the Yuckies........
You know of Captain Ahab.......we have Captain A-hole! While alot of Americans are trying to figure out just how to survive in this economy, this jerk is thumbing his nose at five MILLION dollars, for 8-9 MONTHS of his precious time!?! I sat through four years of college and two years of grad school for a SMALL FRACTION of what he was offered.......a VERY small fraction........and I'm at least GOOD at what I do...... I say good riddance........go back to Georgia, you pea-brain.
let the selfish crybaby spoiled athlete who hits like a national league pitcher go. we have the second or third highest payroll, that is why the pitchers are successful. beckett, lester and diceK would still have a 3.0 ERA pitching to a block of wood.
What is this non sense of sitting out a year????? You are a THIRTY SEVEN year old CATCHER...Are we really supposed to take this seriously? You attempt to gain leverage by threatening to sit out a year and making a comeback at 38????? How long did it take the two scientist to come up with that. Stay in Georgia
Even if Varitek comes back, he'll have a pisspoor attitude like Nomar and Manny. Whatever!!! He's not worth it and he will be a cancer in the clubhouse and a detriment to the team's performance. The Red Sox should rid themselves of every Boras client including Ellsbury and Drew when their contracts expire.
the only thing that can save tek now is himself. hold a press conference announcing that he has fired scott boras and accepted the sox offer.
What would Heid say?
I wouldn't pay him one penny over $8.25/hr.

I really dont want to see Jason Varitek back with the red sox. There is a reason nobody else wants him, he is terrible at the plate. I am sick of having guys on base only to have Varitek ground out. All he did was get out last year. Please let this fossil go. If the sox decide to cave and pay him more I would be so angry, he isn't even worth 5 million. John henry and theo better do the right thing and send this bum walking.
BORAS IS THE BIGGEST SKUNK IN ALL OF SPORTS
I'M SURE BORAS WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THE YANKEES WILL GIVE VARETEK 4 YEARS AND $55 MILLION SO HE CAN BACK UP POSATA.
I'M SURE BORAS WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THE YANKEES WILL GIVE VARETEK 4 YEARS AND $55 MILLION SO HE CAN BACK UP POSATA.
You would never guess that Varitek wrote the foreword for your latest book, Tony.
I'M SURE BORAS WILL COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE THE YANKEES WILL GIVE VARETEK 4 YEARS AND $55 MILLION SO HE CAN BACK UP POSATA.
