The Boston Red Sow gave left-hander Jon Lester a new 5-year contract worth $30 on Sunday. The deal could be worth $42.75 million is Lester decides to exercise a club option in 2014.

“We’re extremely happy to have gotten this done,” General Manager Theo Epstein said. “Jon is already a big part of this organization, and we project him to play an even greater role going forward.”

Red Sox fans are happy to know that one of their favorite players won’t be leaving for a long time. And there is no other team Lester would rather play for.

“It’s a great organization. Besides the Yankees, it’s the most storied organization in baseball,” Lester said.

Red Sox Nation couldn’t be happier right now.
