Chicago Cubs veteran starting pitcher Jon Lester began his career with the Boston Red Sox, and the five-time All-Star isn't ruling out finishing his career with the organization.
"I don't know what is going to happen next year," Lester told WEEI's Rob Bradford. "I know I have the team option, the player option, that sort of thing. We'll figure that out one way or the other. I will either be here or be a free agent. Obviously everything is open. I'm open-minded to anything."
The 2020 season, which has yet to begin as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, is the final guaranteed year on Lester's six-year, $155 million contract.
