Red Sox name Jason Varitek game-planning coordinator

Former Red Sox catcher and all-around Boston legend Jason Varitek has inched one step closer to becoming a Major League manager. For the last few years, fans have been clamoring for the organization to consider him in their management searches. Due to his lack of experience on a coaching staff, he’s never truly been considered, but his new job as game-planning coordinator could change that down the road.
