AJ'S Cousin Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Ok, before everyone goes nuts and jumps on me this is not a vote of confidence and me saying sign Jon Lester and I'm only in favor if he passing a serious physical and is willing to sign a 1 year deal. Pro's for signing him: Stroman doesn't like La Russa Bauer probably won't sign, Sox won't pony up the money Veteran who knows how to win May sign an affordable contract with incentives, i.e. innings, era, starts etc. Stop Gap until Kopech, Crotchet and Cease are ready Left hander Can be used in long relief if being a starter doesn't work. Con's for signing him: Ex-Cub, LOL Age, 36/37 Below average 2020 Showing signs of wear Can't throw to 1st Base, LOL Ex-Cub,LOL HE may have illusions of grandeur of what he's worth May not have anything left in the tank. This is a last resort move if absolutely nobody else can be signed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think Lester is a class guy, and has been a great pitcher. But at this point, there is no reason to sign him. I could see him giving up a ton of homers at GRF. The team has already signed a multitude of players way past their prime. Let him get lit up somewhere else.

As much as I enjoy a good cub fan gear grinding, I don't think it would be worth it in this case. What would really grind if I was a cub fan would be seeing Quintana return to form alongside the guys traded for him on the south side. Much better chance of that. He still has his stuff and his recent peripherals haven't been that far off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
