There have been times when people wanted to trade Lester too. Then he carries us to a World Series, so in hindsight, trading him would have been sort of a bad idea, no?
We're arguing a pretty minor point here, but I ain't losing it LOL
I looked it up on MLB.com. He can't pitch until May 5. It's 10 games, not 10 days. May 5 is a Monday, so that's 11 days.
Here's my honest answer: I have no f***ing clue. He's an enigma. If he turns it around he's a top-notch pitcher at a reasonable cost for several more years. Will he? No clue.
Look it up, huh? You crack me up. Another poster gave you this link to the Forbes Business of Baseball annual report a couple of weeks ago. The Red Sox are #2 in gross revenue and #3 in franchise market value.
