Jon Lester addressed the media Wednesday after being officially announced as a member of the Washington Nationals, and there were naturally a few questions about his time with the Cubs. The lefty confirmed that he’d had conversations with Jed Hoyer and Tom Ricketts and that a formal offer from them didn’t come until his talks with the Nats were down to the “nitty-gritty.”
We've agreed to terms on a 1-year contract with 3-time World Series Champion and 5-time All-Star LHP Jon Lester.
