to meet with Lester for the 2nd time on Saturday. Sounds like he is serious about trying to get him signed.

In New York, that is like 7 corned beef sandwiches.

considering city tax, state tax, federal tax (and is there a borough tax?), he will be lucky to be able to afford those sandwiches!
And from my experience, prices are higher in Boston than NY anyway!
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
The Red Sox will be fine without him as some of those young pitchers will step up.
Nobody is worth 140 to 150 million dollars.
Pitchers are only one pitch away from throwing out their arm.

so much money in MLB (and NFL) due to television contracts that it is Monopoly Money to them.
The Sox would need to trade for a one or two starter if they fail to sign Lester. Or sign Shields as a number two.
<< <i>One problem for #SFGiants, #Dodgers in pursuit of Lester. Higher state income tax in California. Need to be millions above #Cubs, #RedSox. >>

Looks like a few renovations at Wrigley will have to be put on hold, shelling out that kind of coin.
Gonna' be a buzz on the north side this spring.

Good bye and good luck John.
There was not much question you were leaving because you sold your house here .
I guess he liked the crime laden city of Chicago better than Boston.
I guess that is the end of the chicken and beer parties in the clubhouse as he was the last member.
I am glad the Red Sox lost him.
But I can't blame him for taking the Cubs with that much money - he and his family are set for life.
Let's see how well he does in a division with the Cardinals, Pirates, Reds, and Brewers.
I don't blame anyone for chasing the money, just please don't lie to us about it.
<< <i>The Giants are supposed to have offered him more money but I find that hard to believe. The owners are at fault for giving out that kind of money and are ruining baseball. I don't blame the players for taking it because it is there to be taken. I too feel that he was very overpaid for at least 3 of the 6 years he signed for. >>
The problem with taking a Giants or Dodgers deal would have been the high state income tax in California.
Wondering, why are we not hearing about Max Scherzer? Why all the focus on Lester in the media; isn't Scherzer considered a better pitcher?

Max is a Boras client. Boras generally likes the market to be established (which it now is) so he can spin his client for more money. And if you listen to Boras on Scherzer, he's the best since Cy Young!
