Red Sox News & Links: Managerial rumors swirl around Jason Varitek, Ramon Vazquez
"After serving as the team's "game plan coordinator" for the past five years, Tek's contract has run its course and has not yet been renewed. Meanwhile, his wife is posting things on social media that sure make it seem like his time in Boston might be up: There are currently eight teams looking for a new manager: the Padres, Giants, Braves, Rockies, Nationals, Angels, Rangers, Twins, and Orioles."
"One of those teams, the Nats, is now run by a recently-departed member of the Red Sox front office in Paul Toboni, while another, the Giants, interviewed Tek for the big chair back in 2023. And now Varitek, along with Andrew Bailey, has been named as a potential fit to be the next manager in San Fransisco. (Kerry Crowley, San Fransisco Standard)"
