According to
CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman,
the Cubs have offered Jon Lester a six-year, $138 million contract—or $23 million a year. This reportedly tops the Red Sox offer—although
The Carmine Hose are willing to go as high as $130 million. Other reports indicate that
Theo Epstein—in addition to offering the most cash—is playing the "comfort" card, suggesting that Chicago is the most stress-free landing spot compared with Boston and San Francisco. Not sure how compelling an argument that is.
