Seasoned catcher David Ross was signed by the Chicago Cubs to help Jon Lester with the transition to a new team and league during the off-season. Lester and Ross worked together in Boston and had a lot of success as a duo behind 29 regular season games and three postseason appearances.
The signing of Ross with the Cubs was mainly due to the relationship that he had with Lester, but he offers the Chicago Cubs more than just a personal catcher for their prized free agent signing.
What Ross adds to this team is a veteran voice and leadership that has been around.
