NEWS at ESPN: 3-time World Series champion Jon Lester is retiring. I spoke with him and others in his orbit.
Dustin Pedroia: “Anytime he had the ball in a big game, you were going in for an 80-minute massage. You were in good hands.”

@Cubs@JLester34 This one really hurts. Your signing gave us all hope and then you went out and got the job done. From your play on the field to your generosity off of it, you are simply the best. Thank you so much for everything. And good luck with the Nats. #NVRQT
.@JLester34 Thank you for everything you did for this team. You were the tipping point — once that pen hit paper, it was all gas no brakes. You’re a Cubs legend, and we are forever grateful for what you gave to us. #NVRQT
Hey y’all we’re auctioning off a one-of-a-kind .@PearlJam autographed guitar to benefit the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation @PCRF_Kids. Eddie personally gave me this after we won in ‘16 and now it can be yours! Just go to https://t.co/LL7rUdCSmb bidding ends Friday! #NVRQT
Though we aren't part of this gesture by @JLester34 we do appreciate the hell out Big Bad Jon's years with the Cubs and will be donating $1 from every @CoorsLight or @MillerLite we sell you this weekend to his @NVRQT31 charity.
Blown away by all the love y’all. Make no mistake Chicago is home, the Cubs are family, and there’s no uniform I’d rather wear next year for my 200th win. But for now let’s ring in 2020 like it’s 2016! #NVRQT
Worst opening day ever, but focused on what’s most important right now and that’s keeping the team safe at home so we can get back to baseball soon. Special thank you to all the healthcare workers on the front lines, looking forward to celebrating y’all upon our return! #NVRQT
Hey ya'll wanted to let youknow that the #NVRQT auction site is officially live!! So even if you can't join us tomorrow night, you can still support us by bidding! Check it out! https://t.co/SaqVE3pPhq
If you love @cubs, @JLester34, country music, & giving back, joins us at #NVRQT Goes Country on July 17! Proceeds benefit pediatric cancer research! #cubscharities
