Ross has caught nearly 700 games over 13 major league seasons, the last two of which were spent with the Boston Red Sox. The 37-year-old hit just .184 in 50 games last season, but had seven home runs in 171 at-bats. Over 744 career games, Ross owns a .233 average with 95 homers and 273 RBI. Ross is expected to serve as a right-handed hitting complement to Miguel Montero, whom the Cubs acquired from Arizona at the recent Winter Meetings. Chicago also still has last seasons starter, Welington Castillo, currently on the roster. Tuesdays signing reunites Ross with new Cubs ace Jon Lester, as the two were teammates on the Red Sox prior to Lesters trade to Oakland last July. http://www.soccerintermilanfcteamshop.com/Authentic-Juan-Pablo-Carrizo-Jersey/.
