So much for Jon Lester's comments how he want's to end his career / go back to Boston, it's his home, his kids friends are there, "how much money does one man need, money isn't everything". I suppose money is something after all, thanks for the 9 yrs Jon, oh and EAD.

Very similar to the Kevin Brown situation when he was with the Padres. Had a monster year and considered leaving San Diego for the Atlanta Braves because he wanted to be closer to his wife and kids. Ending up signing a contract with the Dodgers. Guess his wife and kids came in second to the money. Or maybe Los Angeles is closer to Atlanta.

I remember that. His contract had so many flights a year on the company jet to Atlanta.

Lester broke off contract talks when the sox made him a lowball offer last spring... he just up their offer by 100 million.

The home town discount went out the window when he was traded.
