Jason Varitek is in the last year of his 4-year deal with the Sox.
The Sox captain is looking to stay in Boston and hopes to get a deal signed before the start of the season.
Without a future catcher on the horizon, it makes sense for the Sox to offer Varitek a deal. He will be 36, and only hit .255 last year, but catchers historically produce well later in their careers than other position players.
While he won’t be getting another $40 million 4-year deal, the Sox should offer him a quality deal and keep him in Boston to finish out his career.
