Scherzer imo

TUESDAY, 1:44am: Lester’s limbo could continue until Wednesday, WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford tweets. Team owners are now involved in the process and are slowing it down.

1:21am: Lester has six- and seven-year offers in hand, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets. It’s possible, however, that Lester won’t take the biggest-money offer. Heyman tweets that Lester’s deal is expected to wind up being somewhere from $150MM to $175MM.

Come on. End this Lester crap.

[Tyler]

If this dude gets $160M+.... 

[QuinlansMinion]

Im surprised nobody has offered him 10 years 200 million

[arch stanton]

You would be treated like royalty in any city if you won a championship.  Even with the prospects they have they are a long ways away from competing.  Not to mention, banking on prospects isnt a good strategy, they could turn out to be Howie Kendricks.

I doubt Theo is banking on those prospects to produce in a Cubs uni. They are currency to be used to acquire the pieces he wants. By ST 2016 the team won't look anything like anyone expects.

Im surprised nobody has offered him 10 years 200 million

Or 4 years $200 million, it's all the rage.

[Angelsjunky]

Sounds like its going to be something like 6/$160M with a 7th pending year for another $20M or so.

 

And to remember that Boston had offered Lester 5/$70M before last year. Ouch.

Lester

By Jeff Todd and Mark Polishuk [December 9, 2014 at 6:57pm CST]

6:57pm: CSN Chicago’s David Kaplan hears from “two very good MLB sources” who believe the Cubs are the leading contenders to sign Lester.

Close the deal Cubs.

[tdawg87]

He'll sign with some random ass team nobody has mentioned. Like the Mets.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Lol. They just changed the updated. Nobody really knows where he's going.

7:36pm: CSN Chicago’s David Kaplan hears from “two very good MLB sources” who believe the Cubs are the leading contenders to sign Lester. An executive connected to at least one of the teams in the hunt, however, tells Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times (Twitter link) that he thinks Lester is leaning towards San Francisco.

Usually how it works lol

8:21pm: The Giants were called by Lester earlier tonight to inform them that he was signing elsewhere, assistant GM Bobby Evans told reporters (including Alex Pavlovic of the Bay Area News Group). As Evans put it, “We did not receive a rose.”

[Stradling]

So the Cubs? The Red Sox?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

So the Cubs? The Red Sox?

@BNightengale: It's now the #RedSox or the #Cubs for Jon Lester.

@BNightengale: Up to eight teams are in on Jon Lester.

[bloodbrother]

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@BMcCarthy32: "Paper or plastic Mr. Lester?" *sun sets, rises, then sets again* "gimme a sec"

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

When are the Angels gonna be in on Lester?

In 2020 or when he's a free agent again.

[beatlesrule]

He stated right after he got traded that he would sign with the Red Sox.

[KevinJ14]

He stated right after he got traded that he would sign with the Red Sox.
