Being told lesters deal could happen tonight. If he doesn't sign by Wednesday, means team done negotiating with Jon

Or now that the front office knows people are following this kid the source is using him for leverage like they do with every other reporter at this time of year.koufax32 said:
Chris Cotillo seems like he's kind of butt hurt by this kid. He's telling people to watch who they're believing and calling Bradford a respected writer who said earlier today that Lester and the Sox aren't close.
If I'm Lester the signing of Panda & Hanley just made me a hell of a lot more interested in Boston.
I noticed that as well. The kid from last year not giving any recognition to the new kid.BoSoxFink said:
Which they should give him on the date that he would have earned 10-5 rights had he not been traded.E5 Yaz said:
the weird thing about this is that if this kid has a source, and no one else does - it would make it pretty easy for the Red Sox FO to figure out who was leaking, assuming they cared about keeping things internal.
If Lester signs, screw what I said in the other thread. The Sox are going straight Oprah this off season. "You get $20 mil, and you get $20 mil, EVERYONE GETS $20 MIL!!!"
My source has told me that the only hold up is what kind of Pizza Jon Lester wants. Hanley's agents are holding out for Pizza Hut stuffed crust but Lester is adamant on Santarpios.
So Hanley is reported in town, as is Sandoval. Now we have news that Lester is imminent.
Is everyone hanging with Papi, eating Pizza, waiting for the trade to consummate? They're going to have to move 3 bodies to make all these deals official.

People freaking out cause of the Ferguson verdicts proximity to this tweet. Morons.soxhop411 said:
Unless Lester himself instructs otherwise, you would think the Levinson brothers would now try to see if they can get a 7 year offer from Cubs or NYY to take back to Ben.

Need to play waiting game being told on Lester. Has 3 offers from Red Sox. Waiting to see if he accepts by Wednesday,if not no more talking.

If the report is true that the Sox have offered him deals of 4, 5, and 6 years then it's clear that they would rather have the shortest duration possible.ehaz said:
That would be my preference as well given how precipitous a pitcher's decline can be as the miles pile up on his arm.
So this means take it or leave it for one of these offers? If that is the case maybe it doesn't get done after all.
I don't understand this take it by Wed. or we're done strategy. If they want to look at other options and pull the offer if they do something else I get that. But in the meantime why give an ultimatum?
