UPDATE: Today is Varitek-Anticipation Day

Well, folks...."At some point on Friday, Jason Varitek's status, at least when it comes to whether he will remain with the only Major League team he's played for, should finally be resolved."

His offer? One year at $5 million, plus an option for 2010 that could either be picked by the team for $5 million or by Varitek for $3 million.

Pitchers and catchers report on February 12th (so close!).

Take the deal, man.

P.S. I would like to take this opportunity to scoff at the Australian Open and the tremendously stupid decision to put the singles finals at 7:30 Australian time, 3:30 am my time! How can I be expected to stay up until 6 am to watch a tennis match? I mean, Serena/Safina, whatever, I'll watch it at 9 am taped (though I do actually think it is going to be an excellent match). But Federer/Nadal Part 239834? This is a match I need to see LIVE. But no, I'll be watching it taped, all because Australia thinks night matches are super. WhatEV.

P.P.S. He took the deal!
