Rob Bradford of WEEI.com is reporting that the initial Red Sox offer to Jason Varitek was for 1 year and less than Posada’s yearly salary of $13 million. It is very unlikely that Tek will accept this offer but shows that the Red Sox are not willing to go with a long term deal. Based on the initial offer I would speculate that Theo’s final offer will be for 2 years and he is willing to move on without Varitek.
