Jason Varitek was drafted by the Seattle Mariners as a catcher out of Georgia Tech in 1994, and now, two decades later, he could potentially return to the Emerald City of Seattle as the club’s manager after interviewing for the position earlier this week.

The 45-year-old Varitek spent a portion of the 1997 season with the Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma, before being dealt to the Boston Red Sox with Derek Lowe at the trade deadline for closer Heathcliff Slocumb.
