BOSTON (WBZ) ― Has Jason Varitek played his final game with the Boston Red Sox? 

No one is saying yet, but Varitek was clearly emotional about that possibility when asked after the Red Sox lost Game 7 of the ALCS Sunday night in Tampa.
 
WBZ's Dan Roche: "Do you think at all that this might be your last game in a Red Sox uniform?"

Varitek closed his eyes, looked down, and with his voice cracking said:

"I'd rather not talk about it."
 
 Watch the interview.

The Red Sox captain just completed a 4-year, $40 million contract and is now a free agent.

But, he hit just .220 this season and had only one hit in the ALCS - a home run that broke a tie in Game 6.

When asked about off-season moves after the game, Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein told reporters, "We'll address that tomorrow (Monday), I don't think it's appropriate tonight (Sunday) to go into that at all."

Roche says that Varitek might not be the only player on his way out.
