Jon Lester waits to take the stage for the Cubs’ World Series rally on Nov. 4, 2016. Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Jon Lester provided his supporters with some hydration and a weekend to remember.
The Chicago Cubs All-Star left-hander, who became a free agent Friday, spent more than $47,000 on Miller Lites at four Division Street bars for fans last weekend.
Lester tweeted his beer tabs from sales at The Lodge, She-nannigans, Butch McGuire’s and Hopsmith and expressed his appreciation for the support of the fans during his six seasons on the North Side.
Lester will receive a $10 million buyout after the Cubs declined a $25 million team option on him for 2021, but he still wants to pitch for the Cubs. He needs seven victories to reach the 200 mark for his career.
