The goal of spring training is to get players their practice before going through the 162-game grind that is the MLB season. Chicago Cubs pitcher Jon Lester knows better than anyone that this time is about putting in the work, whether you perform well or not, according to Bruce Levine of 670 the Score.
With all of that said, Lester’s spring debut left a lot to be desired. The veteran left-hander struggled, coughing up five runs, three of which were earned, off of three hits and two walks in over an inning of work.
