According to multiple reports,
the Red Sox are not moving off their standing offer of a two-year deal to free-agent catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. With
The Evil Ones signing
Brian McCann to a five-year deal, Salty's value has risen sharply. Some reports have him signing a three-year pact with the Twinkies. However, Boston seems intent on using 2014 as a stop-gap season with
David Ross and another backstop like
A.J. Pierzynski or
Dioner Navarro. With several talented young catchers in the minors—all not far from Fenway—the Red Sox can afford to be a bit cavalier with Salty.
