Great news from the Red Sox ... John Lester ... 5 years / $30 million.
Report: Extension for Lester - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- According a Yahoo! Sports report by Jeff Passan, the Red Sox and Jon Lester have agreed to a five-year contract extension (pending a physical) worth $30 million with a team option for $13 million in 2014.
While Lester declined to confirm the report, the pitcher did tell the Globe that talks between his agent, Josh Yates, and the Red Sox had intensified in recent days, saying, "I know that the past couple days have been pretty good."
"I think it's in the process of hopefully at some point getting done," Lester also said, as he left City of Palms Park at 3 p.m. "I couldn't tell you when or what day."
