Red Sox Will Not Pick Up Jason Varitek's Option
By Mike Axisa [November 9, 2009 at 7:23pm CST]
7:23pm: Jason Varitek has exercised his $3MM player option, according to Adam
Hirshfield of NESN.com, and will return to the Red Sox in 2010, shortly after
Boston had declined Varitek's $5MM team option.

The decision comes after the Red Sox made it clear that they plan on using
Victor Martinez as their everday catcher in 2010, and speaks also to the
expected difficulties many players may have getting a bigger payday.

For Varitek, more importantly, the days where he is an asset as a starting
catcher may be gone. He posted a .703 OPS in 2009, and really wore down after
a strong start. His first-half OPS was .826, while his second-half OPS was
.489, or 161 points lower than the career mark of Mike Hampton.

1:36pm: According to WEEI.com's Rob Bradford, the Red Sox will not pick up
Jason Varitek's $5MM option for 2010. Varitek now has five days to decide on
the $3MM player option portion of the contract. He could also earn another
$2MM in incentives based on games started next season.

The 37-year-old team captain hit just .209/.313/.390 in 425 plate appearances
in 2009, losing his starting catcher's job to Victor Martinez late in the
season and in the playoffs.
