The Brewers have finalized their one-year contract with right-hander Joe Ross, Adam McCalvy reported on Tuesday. McCalvy later added that the club has signed left-hander Rob Zastryzny to a minor-league contract with an invitation to big-league spring training.
The news of Ross’ $1.75 million agreement first broke last week, and the deal is now official after he passed his physical.
McCalvy reports that the Brewers view Ross as a starting pitcher. He joins Colin Rea, Robert Gasser, and Aaron Ashby as candidates for innings at the back end of Milwaukee’s rotation.
