Prior to his recent struggles and arm injuries, the Canadian native was a foundational piece in the Toronto bullpen.
He secured consecutive All-Star selections while anchoring the back end of the Blue Jays' pitching staff.
Romano had three seasons as an elite closer with the Blue Jays from 2021 to 2023.
Following his tenure in Toronto, Romano signed with the Philadelphia Phillies for the 2025 season but struggled with an 8.23 ERA over 49 appearances.
Physical setbacks hindered his ability to maintain his peak velocity and consistency over the past two seasons.
He was an All-Star in the latter two years. An arm injury derailed Romano from there.
He dealt with elbow inflammation on multiple occasions in 2024 and hasn't been able to perform consistently in the majors since then.
