Phillies Sign Two-Time All-Star Closer Jordan Romano to One-Year Deal

The Phillies secure a proven reliever for $7.75 million, betting on a rebound after his injury-plagued 2024 season.

Jordan Romano, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays, joins the Phillies on a one-year, $7.75 million contract, pending a physical.
Romano, 31, is a two-time All-Star with 105 career saves and a 2.90 ERA but struggled in 2024 due to elbow injuries and surgery.
The Phillies aim to strengthen their bullpen after losing key relievers Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez to free agency.
Romano was one of MLB's top closers from 2021-2023, posting a 2.37 ERA and leading all relievers in WAR during that period.
Philadelphia hopes Romano can return to form and provide a reliable option for high-leverage situations in the 2025 season.
