I say yes, reluctantly yes, because I believe that 6 years and $25M AAV is a steep price to pay. I would have preferred that the Red Sox completed a contact extension already. The front office likely blew the window for negotiating a home team discount. Management choose extended visibility into Lester's performance. Lester put up a nice first half this year. If Lester puts up a strong second half the price likely exceeds 6/$150.
