It was said by KirbyPuckett34 that starting pitcher Jon Lester and catcher Mike Napoli were open to being traded.
Napoli is currently playing back-up for Matt Wieters and is making 16 million until the end of the season. It has currently been reported that Napoli would be looking for a 10.5 million dollar contract for 4years.
Lester is coming off a pretty bad 2015 going 10-14 with a 4.96 ERA with 173 strikeouts. Lester is making 10.1 million until the end of the 2017 season. Lester is 32 and hasn't had a sub 4 ERA since 2012 when he went 20-4 at the age of 28. I don't think Lester has a good season left, maybe on the right team he could be league average but that's pretty much it.
Cleveland is the only team that has shown any interest in Lester as said by Kirby. As of right now no team has interest in Napoli.
