The club has not yet announced the agreement, but new manager Joe Maddon discu sed the signing after the news broke.
The contract's $25.8 million average annual value would be second among pitchers, behind only Clayton Kershaw's $30.7 million.
Lester's decision Tuesday came down to the Cubs and the Red Sox, the team that drafted and also traded him. Cubs president Theo Epstein was the Red Sox's general manager for much of Lester's time in Boston.Sean McAdam of CSNNewEngland.com reported that the Red Sox's last offer was six years and $135 million.

The thing I liked about em is it wasnt forced and wasnt a sales pitch, Lester said after his meeting with the Bryce Harper Jersey Cubs.It was like, This is what we can do. I dont want BS. I dont want show. I dont want glitz and glamour. I dont want to walk out to the field with your name and number on the JumboTron. Im not 18 anymore. I want you to tell me what you can do for me and my family.
New Cubs manager Joe Maddon told reporters, including the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slu ser, that Lester's ties to Epstein and other former Sox execs now in Chicago had to have played a role in the signing.
Maddon thinks Lester's familiarity with former folks Patrick Corbin Jersey in front office helped in getting deal done with Lester.
