Theo and the Red Sox will be headed back to the Hub with two pitchers: Miguel Gonzalez and Miguel Marquez from the Rule 5 draft. Epstein explained where Boston stands with other free agents:
“We are still in the middle of the process,” he said. “We’re not at the end. We’re in the middle of the process with a lot of guys.”
He did admit that he made three offers to available free-agents. Jason Varitek was one of them. The other two were likely Teixeira and a pitcher.
Theo’s statement contradicts Cafardo’s earlier reporting about Tek. The Winter Meetings are now over.
