Red Sox News: Cody Ross Signs Deal

by Dan

According to Ken Rosenthal from Fox Sports, the Red Sox have signed veteran outfielder Cody Ross to a one year deal worth approximately $3 million dollars.  With a career line of .261/.323/.456 (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) it’s a pretty shrewd deal for new Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington.  He will make the right handed hitting part of the RH/LH platoon in right field for Boston, along with Ryan Sweeney.

Moving on, in the speculation department I wonder if Roy Oswalt is the next likely pickup for the Red Sox, considering that starting pitching is a big need of theirs.
