Tonight the Boston Red Sox made as statement that they will have an announcement on Jon Lester on Sunday morning. Lester was scheduled to start for the Red Sox in Ft. Lauderdale against the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow but will stay behind and pitch in an intrasquad game.
It’s not too hard to put together what’s happening here.
Lester will be staying behind to take his physical for the $5 year, $30 million dollar contract extension and then the announcement will come on Sunday.
Pretty simple stuff folks.
