I know this is old news, but Josh Bard was cut by the Red Sox. This sets George Kottaras up with the job of catching Tim Wakefield. Bard was seen as the replacement to Kevin Cash—who signed with the Yankees—as the Sox’ backup backstop, though Terry Francona said there would be a competition. Kottaras now is the winner of the competition and is going to embark on his rookie season.

No word from Wake yet, but Theo, Schilling and others had a few words: Theo "He’s done a lot for this franchise over the years. He probably had an impact that exceeded the role. . . .
