The Red Sox appear to be leaning a little closer to moving Lester every day, and Rob Bradford of WEEI speculates that the decision will be made "close to the 4 p.m. July 31 non-waiver trade deadline."
Calls on both Lester and fellow Red Sox staffer John Lackey are reportedly coming from "most contenders" according to Ken Rosenthal, a list of teams that includes some AL East rivals.
