Source: Braves near deal for McCann backup
Ross began last season with the Reds, but was released on Aug. 18. He cleared waivers and signed with the Red Sox, but batted only eight times the rest of the season.
The Braves will be Ross' sixth team in eight seasons. He is a .222 career hitter, but posted a .369 on-base percentage in 68 games with the Reds and Red Sox last season.

the Braves are my team and McCann is my favorite..Glad to hear he is losing weight. I thought Ross was a better hitter than 222.I know he is a good catcher. Hope he shines with the Braves. Corky just did not pan out.

You do realize that McCann has already dropped 20 pounds so far this offseason.

David Ross as McCann's back up ??? This proves it ... Wren has LOST his freaking mind !!! A .222 career hitter " Are you kidding me ". I hope Tyler Flower's makes ALL STAR for 10 year's in a row !!! Now he is about to OFFER A.J. a FIVE YEAR <br />DEAL .... Wren MUST GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Braves should consider training McCann to play 1st base, he can rake and his career will be shortened behind the dish along with his weight issues!
