There hasn't been a new deal yet because Jason Varitek is represented by Satan Scott Boras, who is determined to maximize his own profit and extract every last dollar for his client that he possibly can. Although Boras claims the market value for Varitek should be similar to that of Jorge Posada (who signed a 4-year $52 million extension last year at varitek's age), the interest hasn't been there from other teams and the Red Sox have decided to leave their Captain hanging in purgatory, simply because his agent has been a thorn in the side of the organization for years. But two wrongs do not make a right, and in this situation, the innocent bystanders (Varitek and Red Sox fans) bear the brunt of the harm for this standoff.
