Jon Lester: MLB, union 'bending over backwards' to finalize health protocols

Cubs starter Jon Lester has a message for those keeping tabs on negotiations between MLB and the players union regarding health, safety and financial terms for a 2020 season.

"I think the biggest thing — and I’m guilty of it just like everybody else — you can't believe everything that’s put out there," Lester said on WSCR’s “Inside the Clubhouse” Saturday morning. “A couple of weeks ago, we had stuff being leaked that wasn't even presented to the players yet.

“There is just a lot of stuff. I think people have a lot of time on their hands to — I don't want to say fabricate stories — but really try to dig and find things, possible leaks.
