I heard talk they might sign Lester back after this year

would be so great.  wish kc had a team so likeable they could rent out their players for the end of the year and know they could just bring them back whenever they wanted.

Tigers absolutely have the better rotation, lot off those A's guys are also unproven in the stretch rub and the playoffs.

As a Red Sox fan I was thrilled with all of our trades, and even more happy that the Rays didn't get a damn thing for Price. It's hilarious to me that they could have had Cespedes and ended up with nothing. I'm sick of hearing about how smart their cheap ass front office is.

Lester said when it became obvious he would be traded that he'd be open to coming back to the BoSox. That said, he turned down the extension they offered during spring training because it wasn't enough money. Guessing they'd have to sweeten the pot a lot to get him back.

Not going to happen, someone will give him 5 years, the Red Sox won't.

MIR did you see this in Buster Olney's blog?:

• One of the more amusing conspiracy theories is that Lester left the Red Sox with some sort of understanding that he will be back next year. Lester and the Red Sox were really polite publicly as this played out, saying all the right things. But behind the curtain, it was a long, tough summer.

The team’s initial offer of $70 million was far below what was acceptable in Lester’s camp, and while the Red Sox indicated a willingness to go higher than that, the left-hander all but ended the formal talks at that point. The Red Sox tried repeatedly to re-engage during the season, but Lester did not want to get involved; friends say he didn’t want to get into the back-and-forth of talks in-season without having the confidence that the Boston offer was more about signing the player than about public relations. During the weekend the Red Sox played in New York, a foray came from the team: The Red Sox would be willing to discuss a deal along the lines of the $105 million contract that Homer Bailey had signed with the Reds, but a deal in the range of what Hamels got from the Phillies ($144 million) was totally out of the question.

By then, the goalposts had moved for Lester, and a $105 million concept that might have been within range during spring training was off the table for the left-hander. There were many informal discussions between the two sides, including a Saturday night conversation on June 28 and a lengthy heart-to-heart at Yankee Stadium the next day. We reported about the talks that weekend, which were denied -- under the loose cover that there was no formal offer. But they talked, numbers were discussed, and no deal was made then or in the days leading up to his trade.

The conspiracy theory of Lester having an understanding would have to be built on an unbreakable bond of loyalty and trust. But that has to extend both ways, and when the two sides opened talks in the spring with such an enormous gap, the Lester-Red Sox relationship degraded into a business transaction -- and that’s all it will be going forward, if the Red Sox pursue Lester again.

Unless the Red Sox change their fiscal ways, writes Dan Shaughnessy, Lester is gone.

I could not agree more. It’s business, not personal, and if Boston increases its offer dramatically, he might be back; if the Red Sox don’t, there’s no chance he’ll return. Players in their clubhouse know this.

Yeah, that's been a talking point since April. Frankly Lester, his agent, and the Red Sox players that complained are being babies. It was the opening bid in a negotiation, cares what the first proposal was. The talking point that Lester would have given the Sox some kind of hometown discount is borderline absurd. They saw what other pitchers were getting and like I said before there are clubs that will overpay and give too many years, the Sox under this management never have. Lester and his agent know this.

We will get Andrew Miller back though.

The Jay's red uniforms look sharp with the blue batting helmet, but paired with the red cap they are hideous.
