Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images The Philadelphia Phillies signed two-time All-Star closer Jordan Romano to a one-year contract on Monday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but ESPN and The Athletic reported the deal was worth $7.75 million.
The 31-year-old right-hander was non-tendered by Toronto earlier this offseason. The Phillies bolstered their bullpen after Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez hit free agency.
Romano went 1-2 with a 6.59 ERA in 15 relief appearances with the Blue Jays in 2024. Romano battled injuries last season and underwent season-ending right elbow surgery in July.
He saved 36 games in 2022 and 2023, earning All-Star nods in each season. Overall, Romano is 20-17 in 231 career relief appearances with 105 saves and a 2.90 ERA.
