Veteran left-hander, Jon Lester is heading to the St. Louis Cardinals as the Washington Nationals are not done making deals.
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.
Saturday is poised to have a full slate of baseball spanning from the early afternoon to the wee hours of the night. In order to help you prepare for the seven-game night slate, let’s break down the players that will put some money in your pocket.
The Red Sox haven’t had a pitcher start back-to-back Opening Days since Jon Lester in 2013 and 2014.
The Chicago Cubs are fresh off their fourth straight season of 90+ wins. Despite the disappointing abrupt end to last years campaign, the club looks to bounce back in a big way and once again show off how dominant they can be in the National League.
The Chicago Cubs host the Colorado Rockies in the National League Wild Card game tonight at 8PM ET. The game will feature two of the best left-handed starters in the National League in Jon Lester and Kyle Freeland. Let’s take a look at the tale of the tape for both teams.
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?
