Overnight Links: Lee, Brewers, Tigers, Varitek, Parra

Here's some late night odds and ends for the night owls who are still up and running, or early birds who are just rising:

• Yahoo's Jeff Passan opines that offering seven years for Cliff Lee is the right thing for his suitors to do.
• Tim Cowlishaw of the Dallas Morning News opines that it's better for the Rangers to overpay for Lee than it is to let him go to New York.
• Craig Counsell's agent asked the Brewers for more time to consider his options, tweets MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Milwaukee is anxious to hear whether or not the veteran infielder will return.
• McCalvy also tweets that the Brewers will continue to pursue catching options, even with the near-signing of Wil Nieves.
• McCalvy's colleague Jason Beck tweets confirmation from Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski that the club has considered sending Alfredo Figaro to Japan.
• WEEI.com's Rob Bradford writes that the Blue Jays talked with Jason Varitek prior to his re-signing with Boston. A.J. Pierzynski, whom the Red Sox also contacted, is happy for Varitek regarding his return to Boston, saying "He deserves it."
• A market for D'Backs outfielder Gerardo Parra is developing, tweets FOX Sports Arizona's Jack Magruder. Parra could be moved to help balance out a lineup that's heavy in left-handed hitters.
