The Boston Red Sox have avoided salary arbitration with left-handed pitcher Robbie Ross Jr.
Ross and the Red Sox on Friday agreed to terms on a one-year, non-guaranteed contract for the 2016 season. The deal is worth $1.25 million and includes incentives, according to The Boston Globe’s Peter Abraham.
The Red Sox now have no remaining unsigned players eligible for salary arbitration. Junichi Tazawa and Joe Kelly both filed for arbitration but agreed to contracts with Boston.
Ross, who was acquired from the Texas Rangers last offseason in exchange for Anthony Ranaudo, posted a 3.86 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP in 54 relief appearances spanning 60 2/3 innings in 2015. The 26-year-old owns a 3.95 ERA in 204 career appearances (12 starts).
