Sean McAdam of the Boston Globe continues to warn that the Jason Varitek-Scott Boras negotiations with the Red Sox might not end with what Red Sox fans view as inevitable: Varitek may not re-sign with the Red Sox due to leftover unpleasantness from the failed Teixeira negotiations. McAdam's reasoning appears sound, and Sox fans have already been bowled over by Teixeira signing with the Yankees. My take is that someway, somehow Varitek will find his way back to Boston because it makes the most sense for everyone involved.
I believe that Boston could have pulled the trigger already for a trade for a major league ready catcher, with the names Miguel Montero, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Taylor Teagarden, and Ivan Rodriguez coming to mind. The signing of Josh Bard works as a backup only or as a complement to Varitek. One only wonders how deep the stubbornness of the Red Sox or Boras could make these negotiations more prolonged or less successful in outcome.
