I've had several people talk to me about the resigning of Jason Varitek being the top off-season priority for Theo & Co. I had one in-depth comment from "crue4ryan" with many facts about other catchers who might be available & why we should stick with Varitek. (See previous posting.)
The general consensus that I put together from everyone so far is:
1) We want Varitek back. No doubt about that.
2) No sweetheart deal like Posada's. Too long & too expensive.
3) Length of contract should be 2-3 years.
4) Money should be between a low of $5 mil to a max of $8 mil per year.
Varitek makes no bones about wanting to finish his career in Boston. So, as long as Mr. Boras doesn't get crazy, calmer heads should prevail & a contract get worked out before the Christmas holiday.
I appreciate everyone's thoughts. Drop a comment if you want to be heard on re-signing Jason Varitek.
