Of course the Sox are interested. Tom Werner is salivating at the thought of Jon Lester homecoming night and selling a bunch of #31 shirseys. Plus our rotation needs all the help it can get
I think the bigger question is does Lester want to come back and work for Henry and Werner after they lowballed him 7 years ago.
Personally I’n only curious if Blooms interested or not. Lester, Werner, Henry great but what about the guy we brought in to be the architect? If he thinks Lesters a fit for baseball reasons and baseball reasons only then great sign me up. I hope and trust Bloom makes zero decisions based on selling tickets and jerseys. That’s the nonsense I’ve hoped gets weeded out of this ownership by this GM. Just hope they let him instill his full vision without interferingLester seems open to it. He won a ring in Chicago. Life moves on. Bygones and all that.
"Former Red Sox ace Jon Lester is open to returning to Boston once his contract with the Cubs expires, he told WEEI’s Rob Bradford.
“I’m open-minded to anything,” Lester said. “Absolutely it would be cool to go back and finish my career where it all started. But, I’ve got a little time before I really have to sit down and weigh that decision, even if it’s something where they want me back. Hopefully, I’m still a good enough caliber pitcher that the want of my services will still be out there for people. We’ll see.”"
We may want to hold off on slamming the Mets.

I understand all this it’s just super annoying when they do it. For all his warts Dave D did exactly what they asked of him and he gets canned for it. Watch Dr Creepy will feel the financial pain from ticket sales and demand Bloom add a ‘sexy or splashy’ name and were right back to where we started. Let the genius geniusThere's no way that crew doesn't interfere. And the GM works for them not the other way around. If they tell him to make a move for non baseball reasons Bloom has just 3 options- do it & keep his job, do it but resign in protest or not do it & get fired.
Pretty cool...
They’ll have to protect him in the Rule 5. Was kinda surprised he didn’t get plucked last year tbh
Also says Gilberto Jimenez added a bunch of muscle and looks like a running back. No longer a slap and dash hitter.

More movement, harder to pick up, etc.Sounds like a potentially electric arm. I want hurlers coming out of the pen. Can you explain the significance of the RPM for baseball? Taking a wild guess: harder to pick up as a hitter?
All I’ll say is thank god for SoxProspects haha

I'd personally love to see Lester come back. It would help a lot to have a person like him in the locker room. Hopefully wash away some of the nonsense created by David Price and the like over the past couple of seasons.
Correct me if I’m mistaken but wasn’t Lester a fried chicken and beer guy?
Aren’t we all?Correct me if I’m mistaken but wasn’t Lester a fried chicken and beer guy?

No. That was Beckett, Papelbon and Lackey.
I mean the quote above that Mione supplies from Lester himself seems to say otherwise
I’m not against bringing him back for cheap but I just find it funny that people pick and choose who gets shit for what
He's 36, will be 37 in January. If they can bring in Lester at a good number, I dont see why he couldnt help.Not sure why people want Lester here beyond nostalgia. Guy’s gonna be 38 soon and hasn’t been very good since 2018. They already have guys in house to compete for the 5th spot
