Any minute now Jon Lester could no longer be a member of the Red Sox. After winning 110 games and two World Series since debuting in 2006, the Red Sox’ ace was scratched from his start on Wednesday night with a trade looming. Nine months ago when Lester was winning four postseason games, seeing the left-hander pitch for another team seemed impossible, but now it seems inevitable.
Danny Picard, host of I’m Just Sayin‘ and host of The Danny Picard Show on WEEI, joined me to talk about the Red Sox’ decision to trade and not extend Lester, the chances he will be pitching for the Yankees in 2015 and how Red Sox fans are going to lose another franchise staple because of ownership.
