It appears more and more likely that the Boston Red Sox will trade Jon Lester this week.

Ken Rosenthal also reports that there is a "very good chance" the Red Sox will trade John Lackey along with the left-hander.

Lester will be a free agent this winter, while Lackey is under contract for the 2015 season.

Shortly after the initial report, Rosenthal clarified that sources told him there is a "very good chance" Lackey will be traded in addition to Lester, not as a package deal.
