Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek is splitting with his wife, Karen. The team captain filed for divorce July 28 in Gwinnett County where the couple live in the offseason.
They were married in 1996 and have three daughters, ages 8, 6, and 3.
Varitek is in the final year of a four-year, $40-million contract he signed after Boston won the World Series in 2004. He’ll be a free agent at the end of this season, though he turns 37 in April and is hitting just .216.
Neither Varitek’s attorney, Pamela Tremayne, nor his wife’s attorney, Jonathan Levine, could be reached for comment.
