I know Vic Martinez is on the DL. But what about Varitek?
Varitek still on the DL list but this trade was more about overall depth for catchers since Varitek wasn't the everyday catcher for the Red Sox this year.

This trade allowed Red Sox to send 1-2 catchers back to Pawtucket who is struggling with a depleted roster. At one point in the season, Pawtucket was missing 11 players and played games with barely anyone available on the bench.

A few players injured at a time is normal for a season but not 11 which wrecked Pawtucket. They use Portland and the other minor league teams for specific development and not overall team play which is why no call ups went to Pawtucket.
