Last off-season it was rumored that the Mets were interested in Jason Varitek, the idea was to find a guy who was a great clubhouse leader and good with young pitchers. Tek fit both of those characteristics but ended up re-signing with Boston.Now Varitek, after having Boston decline his 5M club option, is contemplating whether to accept a 3M player option.
If Varitek chooses free agency apparently the Mets won't be interested this time around...
I also have spoken to two Mets officials in the past 90 minutes and both said Varitek is not a candidate for their catching job. The Mets feel they need a front-line catcher who can log 100-plus games and they are unsure if Varitek's body can hold up to a regular grind. source NY Post
