"It caught me off guard," Ross said of Arizona releasing him on Saturday. "I was definitely blindsided and obviously upset and had some bitter feelings.






"You sit back and look at the way the roster's made up and what they're trying to do and it just wasn't a fit. To be honest, I don't want to be on a rebuilding team. I love those guys over there. I wish them nothing but the best. But I think my aspirations are a little higher and it was sort of a blessing."

lol ok buddy. you were a loser playing on a losing team. now you're a loser playing on a team that has a chance to win some games. the variable is the team you're on. not you.

What else would you expect him to say? Anyway, it really doesn't matter. He isn't weighing us down any more.

No - I love our three real outfields (Pollock, Peralta and Inciarte) and Trumbo is at least a legit threat at the plate. Ross was a drag on the OF.
