According to an industry source, the Red Sox and Cody Ross will not reach an
agreement on Friday. As such, the free-agent corner outfielder will reach be
free to sign with any team as of 12:01 a.m. on Saturday.

Ross, 31, hit .267 with a .326 OBP, .481 slugging mark and .807 OPS along
with 22 homers in 130 games in 2012. While the Sox have expressed interest in
retaining a player who proved comfortable in Boston and features a
made-for-Fenway swing, GM Ben Cherington also hinted on Thursday (in an
interview with WEEI's Red Sox Hot Stove Show) that it seemed likely that Ross
would explore the market.

"One of the things we talked about [when Ross signed last offseason] was
wanting to put him in a situation where he could be in a better position this
offseason than he was last year. … We wanted it to work for the team and
work for him. … We didn’t get the job done on a team basis, but it did work
out for him," said Cherington. "He’s in a better position this year than he
was last year. That’s good for him. It creates a bigger challenge for us in
trying to find a deal that works for him and works for us. We have talked,
and talked a lot. Time will tell. … He’ll have options. We’ll have to
weigh what it would take to sign him versus alternatives in the market."
