Sorry, but Jon Lester will never not look weird in that uniform and curly-W cap.
Now, on to the topic at hand. The Cubs clearly need starting pitching; the team’s been doing quite well since May 1, but the rotation is obviously in need of help.
Jon Lester isn’t quite the pitcher he used to be. Granted and stipulated; he wasn’t that guy last year, either, posting a 5.16 ERA and 1.328 WHIP in 12 starts for the Cubs. (Incidentally, he came within 13 innings of having his contract option vest with the Cubs for 2021 — if he’d managed to throw just a bit more than one inning per start in 2020, the Cubs would be paying him $25 million this year.
