Jon Lester is retiring from MLB
Lester was drafted by the Red Sox in the second round of the 2002 draft. Toward the end of his debut season with the Red Sox in 2006, he was diagnosed with anaplastic large T-cell lymphoma and underwent chemotherapy that offseason. Lester returned to the team midway through the 2007 season pitched for Boston from then until midway through the 2014 season, when he was traded to the Athletics.
That following offseason, he signed with the Cubs. He was named an All-Star twice throughout his tenure in Chicago, which ran until 2020. Among his standout seasons with the franchise, in his second year with the Cubs, Lester went 19—5 with a 2.44 ERA. In the postseason that fall, he was named NLCS co-MVP and pitched three times in the World Series against Cleveland en route to winning a third World Series ring.
Lester began last season with the Nationals, but he was moved at the trade deadline and later made 12 starts with the Cardinals.
