don't have to read the signature to spot a bitter Yankee fan.
On a serious note, they will likely lose Lowe, and they are probably 50/50 on signing Pedro (if someone offers 4 years at 15 mill he'll be gone) The only guy they might pay over market value for is Varitek, so it's fortunate that most of the teams that could afford his services don't need a catcher. They probably won't sign Cabrara for more than two years plus an option because they have good young infielders in the farm system that are about two years away, but he'll probably get offers for five years from other clubs because he's reliable and durable. Kapler has already filed and I think that there are a couple more who are eligible so there's a distinct possibility that the team next year could be quite different, but this management is committed to making good financial decisions for the team in the long run and not ending up with tons of dead money (like a certain other team a couple hundred miles south).
