Phillies sign RP Jordan Romano to 1-year deal | Yankees, Mets favorites to land Garrett Crochet

The Philadelphia Phillies announced yesterday that the team has signed former Toronto Blue Jays closer, Jordan, Romano to a one year deal, worth, reportedly, $7.75 million. Will Romano serve as Rob Thomson's primary closer? Or will the Phillies continue to make moves to bolster the bullpen, especially if Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estevez both walk? Plus, the New York Yankees and the New York Mets are reportedly the favorites in a deal for White Sox starting pitcher, Garrett Crochet. Are the Phillies still viable players in the Crochet market? And who will the Boston Red Sox add to the top of their young rotation, which includes Bryan Bello, Tanner Houck and Kutter Crawford. The official posting window is open for Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki & we’ll explore if the Phillies have a legitimate shot of signing him as Jim Bowden suggests. He says the Phillies are one of 6 teams with a chance, San Diego, Los Angeles, Mets, Yankees, Rays & Cubs. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
