Lester and the sox have suspended negotiations. For how long, nobody knows, but I have a feeling he reaches open water now, he's too close to it to not take a dip. Like I've said before, I would not be the least bit surprised if the sox are silently pleased with this. They have a bunch of upper level guys who all project as big league starters and signing Lester for $25 mil a yr for 6-7 yrs isn't their usual MO
