Jon Lester talks enter final turn

[joeybee12]

The Jon Lester talks have entered the final turn, with an expectation that a choice will be made no earlier than Monday night and no later than Tuesday, according to sources involved in the negotiations.

Lester has drawn interest from the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Once Lester has a general agreement in place with a team, there will be other issues to resolve before there is a formal announcement, from a medical review to a physical examination.

Red Sox principal owner John W. Henry flew to the Atlanta area Friday for a one-on-one meeting with the former Boston left-hander, WEEI.com reported Saturday, citing multiple major league sources.

I hope he comes back to Boston, and I hope he makes the Red Sox brass sweat before he makes that decision.

"Gee, do I take $130 million or $135 million?
