Jon Lester Signs with Cubs
Per Ken Rosenthal, Jon Lester has agreed to sign with the Chicago Cubs. Per Jeff Passan, the deal is 6 years, $155M — $20M more than was offered by the Boston Red Sox.
One of the main dominoes of the offseason has fallen, and we’re still two weeks from Christmas.
Further, it means the Cubs are “all in” for a 2015 playoff berth.
But are the Mets? They’re looking to dump Dillon Gee‘s $5M salary and are kicking the tires on John Mayberry, Jr. You tell me, in the comments.
