Robbie Ross Jr. has found a new job opportunity in the difficult free agency market. The ex-Red Sox reliever has signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox, per NBC’s Dan Santaromita.
Ross Jr., 28, was a dependable lefty that every team could use in 2015 and ’16. No matter what inning he was called upon, he usually delivered.
In 2015, he posted a 3.86 earned run average with 59 hits, 7 home runs and 53 strikeouts in 60.2 innings. His opponents batting average was .254. These numbers are unspectacular, but reliable as a backend reliever for Boston.
