Jason Varitek signs with Red Sox, Standoff Ends

The Red Sox and free-agent catcher Jason Varitek agreed on a contract according to a report out of MLB.com. The deal is for one year at $5 million with an option for 2010 that Boston could activate at $5 million (or Varitek could at $3 million).

Varitek could make another $2 million in 2010 via incentive clauses, as reported by the Boston Globe, meaning the total value of the contract will be as low as $8 million or as high as $12 million.
