ESPN's Jayson Stark reports, according to a source, that the Red Sox and John Lackey have come to a deal on a 5 year agreement worth a little bit more than the $82.5 million dollar deal that the Yankees signed with A.J. Burnett last offseason. Jon Heyman heard that it's about $85 million.

Joel Sherman of the Post says that the Yankees weren't that interested due to concerns over his health and what it would do to their budget.
