Lavarnway unlikely for Opening Day roster
Ryan Lavarnway - C - Boston Red Sox
Feb. 9, 2013 - 12:30 PM ET
Red Sox GM Ben Cherington said he doesn't expect to carry Ryan Lavarnway on the Opening Day roster.
It's not unexpected news, but serves to confirm what we already knew was going to be the case. Barring a trade, the Red Sox are set to open 2013 with Jarrod Saltalamacchia and David Ross as their catchers. After struggling with a .157/.211/.248 batting line in 46 games this past season, Lavarnway will look to get more seasoning in the minors.
