"Phillies Ink Deal with Right-Handed Pitcher Jordan Romano"

The Philadelphia Phillies and two-time All-Star Jordan Romano have reached an agreement on a one-year contract worth $7.75 million, according to reports from ESPN and The Athletic on Monday.

The 31-year-old right-hander was not offered a contract by Toronto earlier this offseason. The Phillies are strengthening their bullpen following the departures of Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez in free agency.

Romano posted a 1-2 record with a 6.59 ERA in 15 relief appearances for the Blue Jays last season. He also battled injuries and underwent surgery on his right elbow in July, ending his season.
