While the Boston Red Sox didn't explicitly say that longtime fan favorite Jason Varitek has been fired, his time with the organization has seemingly come to an end.
When Boston announced the firing of Alex Cora, along with a handful of other coaches, the club noted that Varitek, who won two World Series titles with the team as a player, would be "reassigned" within the organization. While this is the case, MassLive.com'sChris Cotillo reported that Varitek "effectively faced the same fate" as Cora and the others and that he is "not planning on staying in the organization."
"On paper, the Red Sox took a different tack with Varitek, a revered member of the organization who has served three decades in various roles," Cotillo wrote. "But sources indicate that Varitek effectively faced the same fate as his six colleagues. After all, he was aboard the Mercedes shuttle that took the other fired coaches to the airport late Saturday after the news broke.
"Varitek, in the hours since meeting with principal owner John Henry, team president/CEO Sam Kennedy and chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, has told confidants he’s not planning on staying in the organization."
Varitek is a guy who is a Red Sox lifer now leaving the club. Shocker is an understatement at this point with the overall situation for the franchise. Any time you see a franchise legend walk out the door, it's a surprise. That's especially the case right now.
