ORIOLES ARE OUT ON LESTER. COULD THE YANKEES BE NEXT?

HELL NO!  You know that! 

But, with the Red Sox stinking up the joint in the American League East and clearly having a fire sale, stranger things have happened.

This is what we know about Jon Lester and the Sox and talks with the Orioles. It comes from Andy Martino of the New York Daily News:


"Though the teams were "definitely" talking, as one source put it, a deal was never close.  The reason? The Orioles, who just received news that top pitching prospect Hunter Harvey will miss the rest of the year with an elbow injury, did not want to meet Boston's reasonable asking price by giving up additional top prospects for Lester."

So there you have it.

What happens next? Will the Yankees try and get Lester? Will the Sox move him? Will he stay in Boston?

Who knows... but this is fun right?
