FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Red Sox met with Jon Lester on Tuesday afternoon and outlined a plan in which the lefty will start his season at Class A Greenville.
It is all part of the team's incremental plan to get Lester back up to full speed after an offseason that included several chemotherapy treatments for anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
