DAVID ROSS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Theo Hires Manny As Cubs Hitting Consultant
Jon Lester, David Ross, Kevin Youkilis—and now, Manny Ramirez! The Chicago Cubs announced today that they have hired Manny to be a major-league hitting consultant. Last week, it was reported that Youk was also hired by Theo Epstein as a part-time scouting and player development consultant. Be honest, whenever you think of Manny and Youk, you think: "Consltant". Anyway, Theo made...

David Ross Explains Choosing Cubs Over Red Sox In ‘Crazy’ Free Agency
David Ross’ free agency wasn’t without drama.
Ross, who spent the last two seasons with the Boston Red Sox, recently signed a two-year, $5 million contract with the Chicago Cubs. The decision capped an interesting offseason on the open market that culminated with a “crazy” final day, the catcher recently told WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford.
“Kind of the deciding factor...
David Ross To Red Sox Fans: Boston Will Always Hold Special Place In My Heart
David Ross sounds like he didn’t take his time in Boston for granted.
The veteran catcher reportedly signed a contract with the Chicago Cubs earlier this week, joining Jon Lester on the North Side and ending his time with the Red Sox. He tweeted his appreciation for Red Sox Nation on Saturday morning.
Thx for all the kind words & support. Boston will always hold a special...
Other Shoe Drops—Padres Sign David Ross
Literally minutes after a reported trade of catcher (and Andover High School alum) Ryan Hanigan to Boston, the San Diego Padres scooped up former Red Sox backstop David Ross. In 2014—until the late-season emergence of Christan Vazquez—Ross was part of one of the worst Boston catching tandems in history with A.J. Pierzynski. However, Ross will always be remembered as catching...

David Ross Picking Among Sox And Two Others
(USAToday Sports)According to WEEI.com's Rob Bradford, catcher David Ross is deciding whether to return to the Red Sox or move on to the Chicago Cubs or San Diego Padres. Since Ross was essentially Jon Lester's personal catcher in his time here, our guess is he goes to The Windy City to join the lefty. If Ross does depart, it will open the possibility of Boston committing the backstop...

Ex-Red Sox David Ross: Free Agency Process ‘Humbling’ Late In Career
This embed is invalid" />
David Ross will turn 38 in March. He’s coming off a bad season and his impact offensively has been minimal the last two years.
So why, then, is Ross reportedly garnering plenty of interest in free agency?
Well, Ross is one of the most respected players in Major League Baseball. Even though he’s unlikely to post big numbers...
David Ross Literally Puts His Nuts on the Line for the Sox
The state of the Red Sox’ recent play isn’t the only thing leaving a sting. During tonight’s contest with the Rangers, David Ross took a bounced ball to the nuts that had me bent over in pain roughly 15 miles from Fenway. Though Ross, ever the trooper, brushed it off, the GIF is still pretty cringe-inducing. Especially if you have nuts.
You can check the video, too, which...

Boston Red Sox Player Analysis: David Ross
Last season, the Boston Red Sox had two established Major League catchers coming into the year: Jarrod Saltalamacchia and David Ross. Saltalamacchia was expected to see the line share of starts but Ross was projected to get some solid playing time as well. Things did not go nearly as expected for the Red Sox with Ross getting a concussion twice, once landing on the 60-day DL. Due...

Beard Talk With David Ross
Great interview with David Ross in the Bangor Daily News (that’s in Maine, folks). Of course I ignored all the baseball questions and went for the important stuff:
The Red Sox grew beards as a sign of unity and he admitted that he hated his.
“It was a skunk nest,” said Ross. “I had to put conditioner in it and blow-dry it.”
He said the Red Sox will miss center fielder Jacoby...
