In a small blurb by Michael Silverman - Boston Herald, he states with the unresolved catching issues the Red Sox have, the Mets have offered Brian Schneider. Jason Varitek, Boston's long time catcher and captain, is a free agent, and no deal appears to be imminent.
As for Schneider, some small rumors have been floating around that the Mets were unhappy with his game calling abilities. If they are in the market for a catcher, I would put a line out there and see what it would take to land Gerald Laird from Texas. Texas has a log jam of catcher's, and Laird is a real good defensive catcher. It would cost more than Schneider straight up, but maybe by packaging Heilman in the deal, that might get it done. Despite his leadership and abilities, Varitek is too old, and I hope the Mets don't waste their cell phone minutes on him.
