Jon Lester has had a mostly successful run with the Chicago Cubs, with his six-year deal reaching its end in 2020. The Cubs should give him one more year.
As a Chicago Cub, Jon Lester has made 171 starts, posting a 3.64 ERA. In 1002 2/3 innings, he has struck out 940 hitters and has a 3.86 FIP. Lester’s signing was more than just a big splash; it signaled the beginning of the Cubs’ run, culminating in the famous World Series ring in 2016.
