Per many reports, the Cubs have signed Jon Lester to a 6/155 deal, with a vesting option for a seventh year. The Cubs have a protected pick, but since Lester was traded last season there is no draft pick compensation so all this costs is money and however many years Cubs fans took off their lives stressing out over this drawn out process.
The Cubs signed Jason Hammel and traded for Miguel Montero today, and it certainly seems like they’re not done by any stretch of the imagination. More to come tomorrow, but it’s late, even in PST. Time to open the good bourbon and pop Back to the Future II into the dvd player.
