By Ian With Victor Martinez being able to catch Tim Wakefield and Jason Varitek back for what’s likely his final season in a Boston Red Sox uniform, George Kottaras temporarily found himself out of a job on Wednesday. According to Alex Speier of WEEI.com, the Red Sox put Kottaras on release waiver...

By Ian I’m confused. I thought the Boston Red Sox rotation for 2010 was already set. We already know that Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Clay Buchholz and Tim Wakefield will be in the starting rotation in 2010. So what’s the pressing need for John Lackey? According to Michael Silverm...

By Administrator The Red Sox and Tim Wakefield have torn up the team’s perpetual option for the pitcher (at $4 million per year) and agreed upon a new two-year deal that is worth a guaranteed $5 million, plus options.

By Ian Rather than exercise the annual $4 million option on Tim Wakefield, the Boston Red Sox have re-signed him to a 2-year deal worth $7 million. They also announced they have declined the $5 million option on Jason Varitek’s contract. Varitek still holds a $3 million team option that includes $...

Wakefield will be paid $3.5 in 2010 and $1.5 in 2011 (with more incentives in the second year). The team picked up the $7.1 option on Victor Martinez, but declined $6 option on Alex Gonzalez.

By Randy Booth I don't expect to see significant changes in the starting rotation: Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, Daisuke Matsuzaka and Tim Wakefield. But I'm sure the Sox will want some depth. Michael Bowden, too, will be interesting to watch this offseason.

By rob(noreply@blogger.com) But if the Sox make the playoffs, and subsequently do well in the playoffs, it will be because the starting pitching sorted itself out. It will be because of the return of Tim Wakefield, or perhaps Clay Buchholz finally settling in as a Major Leaguer. It will also be because JD Drew, Jason Bay,...

By The Omnipotent Q(noreply@blogger.com) With Tim Wakefield out for the forseeable future, the options aren't great. There doesn't appear to be anyone in the minors ready to make the big step. The Red Sox took a chance on Smoltz, a chance worth taking. But it didn't work out. It's time to move on.
