Tyson Ross News
Free-agent starting pitcher Tyson Ross has given it a lot of thought and has decided to sit out the 2020 season amid the coronavirus pandemic. Ross' younger brother Joe Ross, who is with the Nationals, announced earlier this week that he is also planning to sit out the season. Their dad is a doctor and their mom is a nurse. The 33-year-old right-hander was released by the Giants this week, but he might have landed with another team that would've given him a shot to at least compete for innings in the shortened 60-game season. Ross wasn't very good in just seven starts for the Tigers last year, going 1-5 with a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and only 25 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings. He doesn't have much left at this point in his career.
The San Francisco Giants released starting pitcher Tyson Ross, reliever Nick Vincent and outfielder Jaime Westbrook on Friday ahead of the deadline to submit up to 60 names for their player pool this year. All three were non-roster invites on minor league deals. Ross, 33, struggled to a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP, 6.4 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9 in only seven starts for the Tigers last year. Vincent, who turns 34 next month, had a bloated 4.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 9.5 K/9 in 32 appearances for the Giants and Phillies in 2019. With Ross now out of the picture for the 60-game season, the likes of Logan Webb, Tyler Anderson, Trevor Cahill, Andrew Suarez and Tyler Beede will be vying for spot-starter roles or long-relief roles if the Giants elect to go with more of a four-man starting rotation.
The San Francisco Giants signed veteran starting pitcher Tyson Ross to a minor league deal on Friday. Ross will earn $1.75 million with $1.75 million more in incentives if he makes the big league roster. The right-hander made $5.75 million in 2019 with the Tigers but didn't pitch after May 10 with elbow and neck injuries. When Ross did pitch last year, he was bad, going 1-5 with a 6.11 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 25 strikeouts in 35 1/3 innings over seven starts. He'll compete for a rotation spot in San Fran. If he makes the rotation, Ross will strictly be a streaming option in deeper leagues, although his new home park won't hurt his chances of becoming fantasy relevant again.
