Since this signing, the Chicago Cubs have gone to heights never seen by anybody on earth, and heights that every organization aims to reach. In his three seasons with the Cubs, Jon Lester has made 96 starts, posting a 3.33 ERA, pitching 588 1/3 innings, striking out 584 hitters, and posting a 3.45 FIP, and that’s just the regular season.
In the postseason, Lester has made nine starts, his best being game one against the Giants in the NLDS and a do-or-die game five of the World Series against the Indians. The Cubs won the World Series in seven games, just in case anybody forgot.
