Jon Lester Sells Newton Home

There’s been an interesting development in Jon Lester’s free agency.

The former Boston Red Sox pitcher, who’s considering signing a long-term deal to come back to Boston, this month sold his Newton home for $1.85 million, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The move would seem to suggest that Lester has his sights set on other teams.

The Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo reported the Red Sox have offered Lester a 6-year, $120 million deal. Lester plans to meet with the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves this week, according to ESPN. Lester has a home in Atlanta.

Lester’s home at 7 Bernard St. was listed for $1.85 million. It has four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a wine cellar, and workshop. Here are some photos from rexwaltham.com:

Lester, who led the Red Sox to two World Series titles, was traded to the Oakland Athletics in August. The Red Sox missed the playoffs, while the A’s clinched a wild card berth but lost in a one-game playoff in which Lester started.
