The "Cheerful" Cody Ross |
Not so long ago, if a player approaching free agency preferred to sign with a "winner", Boston was always on the list. Well, welcome to reality, sports fans. According to a report by
Rob Bradford of
WEEI.com,
Cody Ross is more than willing to talk to the Red Sox about a contract extenstion—but he made it plain that his primary consideration is a winning environment. Oops. Unless the Red Sox can convince Ross—not to mention the fan base—that their "prudent" spending spree over the Winter will produce a better team, the outfielder will be long gone.
