"Romano leaves the franchise after only logging eight innings, during which he posted an inflated 10.13 ERA along with a more reasonable 4.38 FIP and 14.3 per cent strikeout-minus-walk rate (K-BB%)."
"Before that series in the Bronx, the 33-year-old reliever had enjoyed a quality start to the 2026 season, tossing five scoreless, no-hit innings over his first six outings."
"Even so, this still feels like a quick hook for the former Blue Jays and now Angels closer. His peak days certainly appear to be in the rearview mirror."
Jordan Romano has become a free agent after a brief stint with the Angels, where he logged only eight innings with a 10.13 ERA. He had a strong start to the 2026 season but struggled in key moments, including two blown saves against the Yankees. His last appearance resulted in four earned runs in less than an inning. Contributing factors include a career-low fastball velocity and a declining slider grade. Romano's performance indicates a decline from his previous success with the Blue Jays.
