Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek will, according to a source, announce his retirement Thursday, following in his teammate Tim Wakefield's footsteps. Wakefield had been the only other player that had been in Boston longer than Varitek.
The Red Sox acquired Varitek with Derek Lowe in 1997 for Heathcliff Slocumb in a trade with the Mariners.
Varitek's 1,488 games with the Sox is a club record, and in those games, he won two World Series.
Probably my favorite Red Sox player. I think he'll get into the hall for sure.
