Wow interesting on the whole contract situation. My best bet is that he will get a two year contract offer from the red sox at six to seven million a year.
Edit:
Interesting thought crossed my mind though, do you think the sox give him a Wakefield type option offer? Say lifetime options for four million a year or is that not allowed now? Because I agree with JHB on the idea that Tek could be an average defensive catcher for another three to four years, while contributing this year's line or possibly slightly better IMO.
