Less than 24 hours after announcing his retirement, Jon Lester joins the podcast in an hour-long interview to talk about his legendary career in Major League Baseball. We talk about everything from his first start in the big leagues, to shadowing Josh Beckett, how winning a championship so early on in his career affected him, the 2012 dumpster-fire of a season, the Boston Marathon bombings, the blockbuster trade with the Dodgers, being traded to the A's, his chances of coming back to Boston in free agency, why it looked like he had more fun playing for the Cubs, and a whole lot more. Pat Light also shares a story about his experience pitching in front of Jon and how intimidating it was. The second half of the pod features Coley down in Cuba scouting players for the Sox and discussion about what the players are actually looking to get out of the CBA negotiations. Enjoy!
