The Chicago Cubs aren’t bringing back Jon Lester, so where do they go next for additional rotation help?
Only four seasons removed from their historic 2016 World Series championship, Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer find themselves at a crossroads as the core of their title team heads into their free agency walk seasons. Led by Kris Bryant, Javier Baez, and Anthony Rizzo, the key offensive components of the Cubs roster that ended the franchise’s 108-year championship drought are looking at big contracts at the conclusion of next season.
The Chicago Cubs have declined Jon Lester’s $25 million option and he is now a free agent. Lester is one of the most accomplished starting pitchers in the game and could be an asset for a contending team.
We are in the last weekend of the regular season. While we still have some playoff seeding to clean up, there is still a chance to make your winning lineups this season.
Sunday is a day for relaxation, house chores, quality family time, you name it. It’s a perfect day to set
Jordan Leandre takes on a deep-dive into the top 10 single-season ERA leaders for the Red Sox since 2002.

Pitchers hit bumps in the road as do hitters. There are peaks and valleys in baseball. It comes with the territory of playing 162 games a season. Naturally, fans react either positively or negatively to any spike in production. A young hitter goes 12-24 with 5 HRs in a week and all of a sudden he’s Babe Ruth. A young pitcher goes 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA in an 11-day span and he is suddenly Greg Maddux. When is it time though to be concerned about a pitcher who has been solid, for the most part, his entire career?
