Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston is reporting that the Boston Red Sox are willing to offer a six-year contract to former ace pitcher Jon Lester, who was traded to the Oakland Athletics in July.
Edes cited a "well-connected baseball executive" who has talked about the subject with the Sox as saying that he predicts the team will re-sign Lester, and that the deal could be as long as six years.
I know how hard this is to believe but a well-placed source predicted that Red Sox will re-sign Lester, and may go up to 6 yrs to do so — Gordon Edes (@GordonEdes) November 11, 2014
