Varitek re-signing with BoSox?

According to WEEI.com, citing sources familiar with the negotiations, the Red Sox have submitted an initial contract offer to free agent catcher Jason Varitek this offseason for one year. It was not reported what the monetary size of the offer would be, although indications were that it didn't approach the annual average (roughly $13.1 million) commanded by Yankees catcher Jorge Posada in a four-year contract last offseason.
