FRIDAY: The two-year deal with Ross is official, and it’s believed to be for $3MM.
WEDNESDAY, 8:00pm: MLB.com’s Mark Bowman says Ross’ two-year deal will be worth about $3.5MM. Ross says it could be finalized tomorrow.
5:01pm: According to Ken Rosenthal, the Braves are close to a two-year deal with free agent catcher Dave Ross. He’d serve as Brian McCann’s backup. Ross, 32 in March, posted a strong .381 OBP with the Reds this year. The Astros were also known to be interested, but I imagine Ross jumped when the Braves offered two years.
