The Philadelphia Phillies have secured former Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano on a one-year contract, pending a physical. This acquisition addresses a critical need in their bullpen after losing Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez to free agency.

Romano, who recorded 95 saves with a 2.37 ERA from 2021 to 2023, is looking to bounce back after missing significant time last season due to elbow issues. The Phillies are optimistic about his recovery and performance moving forward.
