January 4, 2009 The Providence Journal believes that Jason Varitek and the Red Sox are working on a deal that is believed to be for two years. December 25, 2008 The Boston Herald reports the Red Sox re-signing Jason Varitek is a longshot due to the team's hard feelings toward agent Scott Boras after the Mark Teixeira contract negotiations. December 16, 2008 Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports states that the Mets are divided as to whether or not to pursue catcher Jason Varitek. Some club officials feel he would be a great asset to the pitching staff while others are turned off by his anemic .220 batting average of 2008. December 10, 2008 The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have offered Jason Varitek a contract.
