D-Backs Sign Cody Ross

The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed free-agent outfielder Cody Ross to a 3 year, $26M contract. The story of Cody Ross' career had been a little shaky after parting ways with the Marlins in 2010, but then once he got calimed by the San Fransisco Giants off waivers, this would change his career. Ross was named MVP of the NLCS as he helped the Giants beat the red-hot Phillies to advance to the World Series. Ross batted an outstanding .350 average and 5 RBI during the NLCS. Ross then helped the Giants bat around Texas pitchers to defeat the Rangers in the world series. Ross then played for the Giants next season and ended up in Boston, for the 2012 season. During his one year tenure with the Red Sox, Ross batted ironically his career average, .267 and hit 22 homers and 81 RBI. With the addition of outfielder Cody Ross, the Diamondbacks coudld say good-bye to Justin Upyon or Jason Kubel, as there looking for options to trade them.
