I don't know, I don't see Veritek leaving but you never know. He wants a no trade clause, team policy for the Sox is no no trade clauses in contracts so we'll see. It would be wierd to see him playing for a different team though. I really don't understand why he'd want to leave Boston anyways, I don't think he'd be as good as a fit anywhere else. I think he might just be shopping around other teams for the Sox to give him more money, atleast thats what I hope he is doing. I don't want to him to sign elsewhere.

Everything still seems to point to the no trade clause, Tek's statments about "what's best for my family" yeah, cause people never move and kids never change schools...
He's reading statements out of the Scott Borus school of public relations and nothing else.
The word I last heard on Mirabeli is a few teams do want him as a possible stater of DH, he's good defensively (not great) can catch Wakefield which is difficult and has a good bat, possible better then Tek's, but the last talk I heard was Mirabeli would rather stay here as Tek's backup for less money then go elsewhere... but I'm sure if he's looking at 1mil vs. 3mil it makes a difference.
