witesoxfan Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) Gordon Edes @GordonEdes 22m22 minutes ago Seth Levinson says it’s “absolutely untrue” Sox are out on Lester Didn't know the Sox were involved. Just hate it when people say "Sox" and mean Red Sox. You don't just say "Chicago" is interested in a player, or "New York" is interested in a player, so why would you say the "Sox" are interested in a player?

I know the Cubs are going to end up signing or trading for an ace. I'd rather it be Lester as opposed to Zimmermann or Price or Cueto. If they give Lester a 7 year deal, that would be insane. By the time their stud prospects become stars (if they end up reaching their potential), then it's likely Lester will be well past his peak.

Zimmerman or Price will cost them a good prospect if not two making it a lateral move. I do not think the Reds are making that trade in their division.
