The Boston Red Sox signed left-handed reliever Robbie Ross to a one-year contract worth $1.25 million, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman. His signing marked the 14th consecutive season that the Red Sox have avoided an arbitration hearing.
Ross came to Boston in January of last year in a trade with the Texas Rangers for right-handed pitcher Anthony Ranaudo. While in Texas, Ross, who was a rookie in 2012, pitched 205.2 innings over 150 games, recorded 156 strikeouts and a 3.98 ERA.
In 2015, Ross pitched a career low 60.
