This spring, we’ll get our first glimpse at what will undoubtedly be an interesting dynamic between three-time World Series champion hurler Jon Lester and new manager David Ross. Of course, the two were batterymates with the Chicago Cubs during the 2016 season. Now, they’re manager and player.
Given the professionalism of both men, there’s absolutely no reason to expect it’ll be anything new. Ross will push Lester – knowing exactly how to toe that line of pushing too far. Hopefully, the 36-year-old southpaw can tap into that and return to form in 2020.
