As the Giants have discussed Plan B moves in case they lost out on Sandoval, they've talked about the possibility of pursuing left-hander Jon Lester, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney. The Red Sox also remain engaged in talks with Lester about a possible reunion with the pitcher.
The Giants made a one-year qualifying offer of $15.3 million to Sandoval for 2015, which he rejected, ensuring them draft-pick compensation if he signs with another team.

However, Gordon Edes is reporting that Sandoval’s agent has said that the reports are “not true” while Alex Speier of WEEI is reporting that Sandoval’s decision will come later today.
