THANK YOU to the entire Dodgers organization and everyone I have met since being drafted. It has been an honor to wear a Dodger uniform for the last 5 seasons. Shelby and I have been very fortunate to make amazing memories and lifelong friendships over the years. We will cherish our time in Los Angeles forever and would like to thank you for welcoming us with open arms. I was lucky to be apart of a very special team and compete with some of the best in baseball. Thank you to my teammates, the city of Los Angeles, and the Dodger fans for making my time as a Dodger so memorable. As I embark on a new chapter, I look forward to the exciting adventure ahead with the Toronto Blue Jays. It’s an organization with a bright future and I can’t wait to be apart of it! Go Jays!

Ross was drafted by the Dodgers back in 2012 in the 5th round out of Texas A&M. From there, he shot up through the minor league system and made his big league debut in 2016 against the Giants. Strip tossed 7+ no-hit innings before being pulled on a 100-pitch limit in what was truly a debut to remember.
