The Red Sox finally got off the pot and signed someone. Kelly Shoppach (originally Sox property) signed a one-year deal with the team ($1.35 million). He will pair with Jarrod Saltalamacchia as the Sox catching tandem. Shoppach is a career .224 hitter, with 59 HRs over 7 years. In 2008, he did hit 21 home runs as a member of the Indians. This is the clearest signal yet that Captain Jason Varitek is gone.
