Closer Jordan Romano and the Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a one-year contract, sources told ESPN, fortifying a bullpen that served as a strength during the regular season but crumbled in the playoffs.
Romano, 31, was nontendered by the Toronto Blue Jays after an injury-riddled year that ended with him undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow. Over the prior four seasons, Romano had been one of the best relief pitchers in baseball, posting a 2.29 ERA in 200⅔ innings with 251 strikeouts and 75 walks. The deal is pending a physical.
