Jordan Romano, the Markham, Ont.,-born relief pitcher, has inked a one-year deal to play for the Los Angeles Angels in 2026.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports the agreement, which MLB.com also cites via sources, and the Angels have not announced the deal.
  • Romano struggled with the Phillies in 2025, logging an 8.23 ERA across 49 appearances after signing a one-year, $8.5 million contract last offseason.
  • He went on the injured list in late August with right middle finger inflammation and did not resume throwing before season’s end.
  • Before Philadelphia, he excelled with the Blue Jays from 2019–2024, posting a 2.90 ERA over 231 games.
  • The signing fits Los Angeles’ low-cost, reclamation approach to rebuilding its bullpen as Romano joins his third MLB team entering his eighth season.
