The Red Sox charges the most for an average ticket price. They make loads of money. They have no problem upping payroll to the Yankee level of $200M.
But let's stop talking about that and more on Lester. Lester look at this as a free agent contract and what his peers are getting. His peers are getting handed hundreds million dollars deals. He has taken a discount already, why would he go through it again?
Expect the contract talks to begin at 5 year at an AAV of 20M.
He's on noticed. if he had a tiny bit, nobody would remember it after his next start. Since he stupidly got busted with lots of it, you can bet umpires will watch. Especially this is the 2nd straight start he was smeared with it.
a little stuff is fine and all, not when his entire palm is coated with it. Was there a babe he was rubbing down or was he wacking off in between innings?
s***, that's excessive usage of the stuff. He should get thrown out for that like Peralta did. Everybody use it, not every excessively is cover in brown s***.
