"Jason Varitek, who most recently held the role of "game planning and run prevention coach" in Boston, is set to stay on the Red Sox' staff for at least two more seasons with a new contract, according to MassLive's Sean McAdam. Varitek's previous deal had expired when Boston's season ended earlier this month. Just last week, the former Red Sox captain wasn't sure if he was going to stay in Boston due to his expiring contract."
"Varitek, 53, had previously been the Red Sox' game planning coordinator and catching coach beginning in 2021, when he became a full-time coach, through the 2024 season. Despite his lengthy off-the-field resume in Boston, Varitek has reportedly only been interviewed for managerial positions in MLB twice since retiring from the game nearly 15 years ago. The Seattle Mariners interviewed him in 2015 before naming Scott Servais their next skipper."
Jason Varitek will remain on the Boston Red Sox coaching staff under a new multi-year contract that covers at least two additional seasons. Varitek most recently served as the team's "game planning and run prevention coach," and his previous deal had expired when Boston's season ended earlier in October. Varitek expressed recent uncertainty about staying because his contract had expired. The new deal may align with manager Alex Cora's contract, which runs through the 2027 season. Varitek has held multiple coaching and front-office roles in Boston since 2012 and has been interviewed twice for MLB managerial jobs.
