Red Sox, Orioles Discussing Jon Lester

By Steve Adams | July 30, 2014 at 6:58pm CDT

6:58pm: The Orioles did have discussions earlier on Lester, but talks have fizzled and there no longer appears to be a match, reports Andy Martino of the New York Daily News.

For what it’s worth, Duquette did tell reporters that he had at least some interest in adding a frontline starter, which is something of a different tone than the club had set in recent days, as Connolly reports. “We’d be interested in adding pitchers that could help us at the top of our rotation,” said Duquette. “Who wouldn’t be?” But Duquette did not waver from his prior statements that Baltimore is quite hesitant to part with young arms: “I think with our young pitchers we would be conservative, and we would try and give them a prolonged trial in the big leagues before we would trade them.”

3:58pm: Told of rumors that a deal could be close, Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said that would be “news to him,” as Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com tweets.

3:50pm: Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun hears differently than Abraham and Ghiroli, reporting that his sources indicate there’s nothing hot between the two sides at this time (Twitter link).

2:36pm: Abraham tweets that the two sides are in advanced discussions, but the Red Sox have alternatives, should Baltimore not meet their asking price. Ghiroli adds that Baltimore isn’t likely to part with Gausman in a Lester deal, but the two sides are still in serious discussions.

2:25pm: Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets that a deal isn’t close at this time, although Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com tweets that talks are indeed heating up. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports also tweets that nothing is close to finalization at this point, though that doesn’t preclude a deal from being reached. Andy Martino of the New York Daily news also hears that a deal is possible, but not close at this time (Twitter link).

Kubatko adds that Boston has been asking for Kevin Gausman or Dylan Bundy in talks.

2:20pm: Miguel Gonzalez could be heading to Boston in the deal, Ghiroli tweets. Clearly, he wouldn’t be the centerpiece of the trade.

2:16pm: The Orioles are in advanced talks that would send a pitcher to Boston in exchange for Jon Lester, reports Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe (on Twitter). MLB.com’s Britt Ghiroli tweets that the two sides are “close” to a deal.

                His bat was a huge question mark and the Angels had a bad farm at that time. It’s like Robbie Ray being the Tigers number 2. No chance he’s that high in 75% of the systems in the league.

                He wasn’t considered to be nearly as good as he turned out.

                  He was a .313 hitter in the minors. That wasn’t the concern at all. It was his 5’10” height. Most top SS prospects these days are 6’1″ to 6’3″.

              He wasn’t a fringe prospect at all. The only reason he wasn’t higher rated was because some scouts saw him more of a 2B because he lacked classic SS build. The Angels figured he was expendable with Aybar and Kendrick blocking him.

      Bundy is a once a gen pitching prospect. It’s more than just the 98+ mph heater.

      He entered minor league ball and threw an acculmative no hitter through several games. I forget exactly but he didn’t give up a hit until his 7th or 10th start. He then ran right thru his first two levels not giving up a homer, with a video game ERA and FIP

          You must be pretty young. He’s still coming back, building back up velocity and touch. This is pretty normal for TJ. He was a HS pick so he’s still insanely young. You can give up on him if you want, but if he were in the draft this year, he’d be younger than the college picks.

    Why would the Red Sox deal Lester within the division? Also, if he resigns with the Red Sox immediately after the season, the league better take a hard look at the prospect that the Red Sox and Lester put an underhanded plan in place to accelerate a Red Sox rebuild. This whole thing just stinks to me. Am I alone here?

        No, it’s not. Cards gave up their #5 or #6 for Masterson, who is a much worse pitcher than Lester, from a career standpoint and especially this year.

          No two farms are created equal. You can’t compare what one farm loses to another. The 6th best Cardinals prospect might be the O’s 2nd best prospect (hypothetically speaking. I don’t know either farm very well). You can only compare it on a player to player basis

      Pitt is Boston’s best shot at a top 50 prospect, just do not see any other team stepping up for Lester. It takes a big market team to waste high end talent on a rental. Angels, TX, LAD, Yankees, Detroit, and Nats fit the bill and it looks none of them are on Lester.

        The problem is that the O’s system is Top Heavy. They don’t have any mid-range prospects to deal. All they have are Gausman, Bundy, and Harvey, three pitching prospects that are pretty much major league ready talent with ace to high upside level. It falls off drastically from there, with no position prospects at all really. And the prospects they have are too highly ranked and cheaply controlled to deal them for rentals, which is why they’re reluctant to give them up.

      They won’t resign Lester. Ubaldo was their biggest FA signing ever by far and he’s been a bust. I doubt they make any large signings for the forseeable future. And Boston know’s he wont resign with them which is why they don’t mind sending him to them even though they are in the division.

        I do believe you misunderstood my post. I’m saying the Orioles would be giving up too much for a rental. The only way I’d give up Gausman and/or Bundy is if Lester were to sign an extension with Baltimore. And we know that isn’t going to happen. Otherwise Gonzalez and some lesser player would be more than enough for Lester.

    Hope the O’s don’t do this. Not worth mortgaging the future for 2 months of anyone. Save the young pitching unless you can get someone longer term.

      Even though the AL East is not as good as it once had been, it’s still competitive given at least 3 teams are still in on winning that division. If the Orioles acquired someone like Lester, it would really separate them from the rest of the pack. Not only that, but Lester, who was crucial for both the Red Sox’s 2007 and 2013 WS runs, is exactly the type of ace that can help carry the Orioles to a potential WS run.

    Sox are still giving up a legit ace they have the money to sign for Bundy who chances are will never be as good as Lester.

      Lester is a FA at the end of the season and Boston is out of the race this year, they should trade him to the highest bidder regardless of their division.

        No question. Then again, if they don’t like any offers, they can just keep him and try to sign him. Within the division, they would and should demand a lot more considering they’ll have to face him.

          If anything…..the O’s should offer less because it’s with boston. The Sox are irrelevant in 2014 and Lester is a FA come winter so him going there effects Boston 0%. On the other hand, the O’s would be trading future stud prospects and would have to face those guys (whether it be Bundy, Gausman, or Harvey) for the next 5 years while relevant. Your logic is backwards. They won’t just hike up the price on the O’s because of a “grudging rivalry”

          Gausman- 3.67 ERA 35 K/ 18 BB in 49 IP.

          How are those stat lines even remotely similar? Not even taking into account the fact that Lester has an ERA+ of 120 over 1500+ career IP and a postseason ERA of 2.11 over 76+ innings.

          Seems pretty consistent to me.

    I think the O’s will have to part with Dylan Bundy to get Jon Lester unless they can come up with one hell of a package deal. I say this because the Dodgers have 3 prospects in Baseball America’s top 20 midseason list and only Seager is called untouchable. And the Red Sox would rather have Joc Pederson or Julio Urias over Hunter Harvey. I think that’s the hold up is the O’s don’t wanna give up Bundy and the Red Sox aren’t willing to accept just Harvey.

    O’s are never going to take on another huge contract after the Jiminez debacle. That said, they may go after Lester really hard knowing that they would only be on the hook for a few months worth of salary. I believe that Andrew Miller is the “real” gem on the Red Sox at this point. Lackey & or, Lester would cost too much to keep long term.

    The player that I would love to see in Baltimore, is Dustin Ackley from Seattle. He is solid gold, being used very poorly by the Mariners. That kid is a Ted Williams type of talent. He just needs to be given the right chance in the right spot. He has upped his average nearly 40 points in the last month…….while hitting 7th or 8th in the lineup with no protection. They moved him up to the 2nd spot, and he has gone 3 for 4 and 3 for 5 in those 2 games.

        Yes, yes I did. He can hit .400 in the majors………just wait and see. That kid is very special. And he can play both infield and outfield. Any club would love to have that talent on their roster, but Seattle has won just enough to remain buyers instead of sellers.

        BTW, he hit circles around Kyle Seagar while they were at Carolina. And he did it as a leadoff hitter. If you would bother to watch the kid play instead of getting all Krazy, you would see that his swing is the sweetest since Ted Williams. Give me Dustin Ackley on the current Orioles roster, and they get to the World Series no questions asked.

      Eduardo Rodriguez, Christian Walker, Zach Davies, Chance Sisco, Tim Berry, Mike Wright, Josh Hart. Bundy/Harvey were ranked in Keith Law’s top 13 prospects in all of MLB after this year’s draft, so it does fall off somewhat after that but there are definitely still decent pieces there. Hell, maybe the Red Sox will take Mike Yazstremski after he’s been tearing it up this year lol.

    He is expected to start that game if he is not traded. It will be a playoff atmosphere if he is starting that game.

    Still hoping for an announcement of an extension (no trade) for Lester by tomorrow (trade rumors used as leverage to get the deal done). That would be the best case scenario.

    The Red Sox are jerking the rest of the Majors around. There’s no shot Baltimore moves Gausman, Bundy, Harvey or Rodriguez in a deal for Lester — he’s a rental who wouldn’t be open to an extension. Lester’s testing the market and you don’t give up potential top of the rotation prospects for a two-month rental. I think the Sox are floating these stories to get somebody else to pony up more than Lester’s really worth. He’s excellent, but he’s not worth multiple top prospects for two months of starts.
