The Phillies might be on the verge of adding a third wheel to their catching tandem. David Ross, released by Cincinnati on Monday, is expected to clear waivers today and become a free agent. The Phillies and Boston are interested, Fox Sports reported. A team source confirmed the Phils are talking about adding Ross, who possibly would get a chance to compete for playing time with starter Carlos Ruiz and often-used backup Chris Coste.

The timing of your released is very important. You also have to be good enough that a contender will want to add you to the 40 man roster; but, suck enough that your current team no longer wants you at all.

I agree... why bring in a guy who was release by a losing franchise?
