Red Sox took the wrong road by not signing Jon Lester
The Boston Red Sox made an error. It was not on the field, but in the management suite. They should have kept Jon Lester, saved money, and have had more mound consistency.
On Tuesday two left-handers with a Boston connection pitched. One walked away with a win and the other – despite a nice performance – picked up a loss.
When you have a sure thing why look elsewhere? The Red Sox had exactly that with lefty Jon Lester, a rare successful pitcher from their own farm system. Lester did everything one would expect of a top of the rotation starter.
