According to
CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman, multiple MLB sources agree that
Jon Lester's return to Boston is "a long shot". The sources believe that the lefty will either wind up in pinstripes or toiling for
Theo Epstein on the North Side of Chicago. Referring to Boston's low-ball $70 million offer to Lester, one MLB exec stated,
"The Red Sox aren't going to admit they made an $80 million mistake by offering $150 million". Probably true, but if
John Henry can sell-off a few soccer balls, maybe he can offer $140M—which might be enough to bring him back.
