Jon Lester doesn't see why throwing to Willson Contreras will be an issue

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Who?

Jon Lester pretended he didn't know who a reporter was talking about in regards to a question about former personal catcher David Ross' upcoming spin on "Dancing with the Stars."

That's how much Lester cares — at least outwardly — about which catcher he's working with right now.

Lester made his spring debut Sunday, throwing two innings to Willson Contreras, giving up two runs on three hits with a strikeout. Lester has spent most of the last four years throwing exclusively to Ross, who is soaking up the limelight in retirement.
