Cubs Pitcher Jon Lester Spends $47K on Beers for Fans in Chicago

While Cubs free agent pitcher Jon Lester might have played his last MLB game in Chicago, it didn't stop him from providing more than 4,800 ways to keep Cubs fans smiling this weekend.

In a tweet on Monday, Lester shared that he put 1,372 Miller Lite beers on his tab Sunday, bringing his grand total to 4,838 beers from Friday to Sunday. Lester spent $47,094.90 over the weekend, which included $31,082.63 on Miller Lites and $16,012.27 in gratuity.

On Friday, the Cubs declined their 2021 mutual contract with Lester for $25 million, making him a free agent.
