KELLY SHOPPACH RUMORS

Your Morning Dump...where Tek might return

Every morning we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Jason Varitek was presumed to be an ex-Red Sox when the team signed catcher Kelly Shoppach a few weeks ago. But club decisionmakers are still considering yet another return to Boston for Varitek...

Shoppach Returns to Boston

Kelly Shoppach is going back to where he started. The 31-year-old catcher agreed to terms on a one-year, $1.35 million contract with the Boston Red Sox — the organization that drafted him in the second round of the 2001 draft. With incentives, the deal could be worth $1.75 million. Signing with the Red Sox ensures that Shoppach will remain in the American League East, where...

Red Sox Sign Shoppach, Ending an Era

The Red Sox signed a familiar face today bringing back one-time prospect, catcher Kelly Shoppach on a 1 year / $1.35M. The move solidifies the depth chart at catcher with Jarrod Salatamacchia getting the lion share of the work and Shoppach backing him up. Power hitting prospect Ryan Lavarnway will now likely begin the season inAAA, where he can play regularly and develop his backstop...

Postgame Shot Of Joe: Hurray For Kelly Shoppach!

Good thing to because it was at that time Wade Davis simply ran out of...
