2-time All-Star closer Jordan Romano, Phillies reportedly agree to 1-year-contract
The Phillies and free-agent reliever Jordan Romano agreed to a one-year contract Monday, according to multiple reports.
www.cbsnews.comI don’t have live-access to current headlines right now. Here’s what I can share based on recent, publicly reported info up to late 2024 and early 2025:
-
Jordan Romano signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, reportedly around $7.75 million, pending a physical. This came after he was non-tendered by the Toronto Blue Jays in November 2024. If healthy, he was projected to be the Phillies’ closer option in 2025.
-
The deal was considered a notable bullpen upgrade for Philadelphia, adding a proven closer with a strong track record from 2021–2023. The health status in 2024 (elbow surgery) was a key risk factor discussed at the time.
