Per Ken Rosenthal, former Red Sox catcher David Ross has signed with the Chicago Cubs for two years and $5 million dollars.

Ross hit .184/.260/.368 in 50 games for Boston in 2014 to go with seven home runs and 50 RBI.

The veteran catcher has played for the Dodgers, Pirates, Reds, Braves, Red Sox and Padres in his 14-year career. In 744 career games has hit .233/.318/.435 with 95 home runs and 273 RBIs.

Some speculated that the 37-year old veteran may follow former Boston teammate Jon Lester to the Chicago Cubs. During the winter meetings Lester inked a 6-year/$155 million deal with the Cubs and former Red Sox GM Theo Epstein.

Ross was a big part of the 2013 World Series Championship team, including a huge RBI double in Game 5 of the series:
