Jon Lester appears poised to finally put the speculation to rest. 

The free-agent left-hander is expected to make the decision of where he intends to sign known no earlier than Monday night and no later than Tuesday, according to Buster Olney of ESPN

Lester has had no shortage of suitors this offseason with the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox all potential destinations for the three-time All-Star. 

Red Sox principal owner John Henry reportedly flew to the Atlanta area last week to meet with Lester one-on-one, while Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports noted Monday that the Giants are getting serious consideration. 

Lester, who finished 16-11 with a 2.46 ERA in 32 starts last season, is said to be waiting for one of his suitors to offer a deal worth $150 million, according to CSN New England.
