So Many Options
The Red Sox declined the team option on Jason Varitek today meaning he can either exercise his player option, or become a free agent. It'll be strange to not see Varitek on the opening day roster if it comes to that.
Additionally, the Red Sox did exercise their option on Victor Martinez meaning he'll make $7.1mm in 2010. This was a given, not sure there was any need to report on it in fact.
The Red Sox and Tim Wakefield ripped up the perpetual team option of $4mm a year and instead signed a 2 year, $5mm deal with incentives that could make it a $7mm deal. Given Wakefield's health, this seems like a good move for both sides.
On the non-option side of things, Nick Green became a free agent today. I think Green is a versatile player (he can pitch, never allowed an earned run!!) and is worth a roster spot in 2010.
