The Red Sox were long in the running for Giants postseason hero Pablo Sandoval to be an added left-handed bat in the lineup and also to be the starting 3B. According to CBS Sports’s Jon Heyman, a deal has been struck. The contract that is reportedly being agreed to is for five years and close to $100million.

It has finally happened. All of the rumors and speculation can be put to rest because cbssports.com insider John Haymen has announced that the Red Sox have sent Jon Lester to the Oakland Athletics.

After a night of errors and bumblings from the St. Louis Cardinals, the Boston Red Sox take Game 1 of the World Series with a score of 8-1.
