Looks like Lester is signing with the Cubs. Red Sox seem to be low bidder and Giants the highest, but Lester picked the Cubs anyway, six years, $155MM. Big money, but it proves the new regime is finally getting serious about contending. Good news.
The Cubs also picked up Montero to catch for a couple of low profile minor league players. Montero is a good defensive catcher who can hit right-handed pitching reasonably well and is pretty expensive. The Cubs are shopping Castillo, though I hope they hold on to him as a backup/platoon.
