After elbow problems, Motte has signed a one-year, $4.5-million deal with the Cubs.
Motte missed all of 2013 after having right elbow surgery.
Lester's 2021 option for $25 million can become guaranteed in two different ways.
"Jon is the perfect pitcher to lead our rotation for where we want to go," Theo Epstein says.
For the record, Lester agreed to a six-year, $155-million deal.
All 162 Cubs games in 2015 will be shown on TV in Chicago, Crane Kenney says.
Lester is a man of the people.
As of Thursday morning, about 70 Cubs games don't have a local television home in 2015.
"I've got a man crush on him," manager Joe Maddon says of Gomes.
The Cubs put a $155 million bet down on their bright future.
