Red Sox Offer Arb To Varitek, Byrd

According to WEEI’s Alex Speier, the Red Sox offered arbitration to Jason Varitek (Type A) and Paul Byrd (Type B).  They were both borderline cases, and it seems that either player could go either way on deciding whether to accept.  Amalie Benjamin, though, finds both unlikely to accept.  What do you think – can Varitek and Byrd find multiyear deals elsewhere?
