Jordan Romano A Favorite For Saves
4 years agoThe Toronto Blue Jays won't officially name a closer but pitcher Jordan Romano is expected to pitch in a lot of high-leverage situations in 2021. Veteran free-agent acquisition Kirby Yates was originally named as the Jays' closer but he will miss the full season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Romano allowed just one run this spring in 5.2 innings and posted a K-BB of 13-2. Last season in the majors, he recorded two saves and five holds in 15 games. Romano had a healthy K-BB of 21-5 in 14.2 innings. He also dealt with a finger injury that has fully healed. Along with the Canadian pitcher, Rafael Dolis, Ryan Borucki, and Tyler Chatwood could see high-leverage innings.
