Sergio Romo

The Blue Jays signed veteran reliever Sergio Romo to a Major League contract on Monday. Read more about the move at MLB Trade Rumors.

Romo’s addition comes at a time when the Jays have seen their in-house bullpen options thinned out dramatically in just a matter of weeks. It’s only a sample of 38 plate appearances, but righties have turned in a dominant .353/.395/.794 batting line when facing Romo this season. There’s no real risk from a financial standpoint, and if Romo’s struggles continue following a change of scenery, he can be quickly phased out in favor of an in-house option or a potential trade acquisition. As such, Seattle will be on the hook for the majority of Romo’s $2MM salary. That slider has typically made Romo a death knell for opposing righties — career .204/.248/.356 slash line — but right-handed batters have uncharacteristically decimated Romo so far in 2022. That proved to be the start of a catastrophic collapse that saw the former Giants closer and three-time World Series champ yield a dozen runs over the course of just 6 1/3 innings.

Romo, who was released by the Seattle Mariners last week, would be added relief to an overworked Blue Jays bullpen.

He was released by the Seattle Mariners last week after a rough three months. Since then, Romo has played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics and Mariners. He holds a 42-35 career record over 15 major-league seasons, with a 3.18 ERA and 137 saves. The 39-year-old right-hander logged 14 1/3 innings with the Mariners this season and was hit hard, posting an earned-run average of 8.19. He surrendered 18 hits and six runs (all earned) while striking out 11 and walking four.

Les Blue Jays prennent une chance avec un gars qui a un mauvais début de saison.

Les Blue Jays de Toronto ont besoin d'aide sur le monticule. Sa moyenne de 8.16 n'impressionne personne, disons. Pour les Royals, c'est sans doute le début de la vente de feu.
