From what is being reported, Victor looked like he wanted to be out of Boston regardless of the money or deal Red Sox offered almost similar to Jayson Bay leaving even though he was happy at Fenway.
Varitek signing the 1 year at $2 million means the team knows it needs to speed up developing its future catcher or buy one after next season.
The rumor of them thinking about selling the team doesn't make sense when in 2 years, they can apply for the government to designate Fenway as a landmark and save millions they spend each year renovating the place. The government would give them the money needed to fix the stadium like they do with every official landmark.
Red Sox still need to fix the bullpen since it was a disaster last year with all the blown saves and costly mistakes it did.
