The 40-year-old reliever spent nine seasons in San Francisco, going 32-26 with a 2.58 ERA and 84 saves in 515 games. He made a ...

The San Francisco Giants agreed to a minor-league deal with free-agent relief pitcher Sergio Romo on Thursday that will include an invite to major-league spring training. If all goes according to plan, the Giants will work with Romo to build up his arm strength to appear in a couple exhibition games before calling it a career. The 40-year-old right-hander said he hasn't done anything since last September. Romo will return to the team that he won three World Series championships with, spending ...

The Toronto Blue Jays designated relief pitcher Sergio Romo for assignment on Saturday after they acquired left-hander Foster Griffin from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for right-hander Jonatan Bernal. The Blue Jays also recalled right-hander Jeremy Beasley from Triple-A Buffalo. After being signed in late June, Romo appeared in six games for the Blue Jays and allowed two earned runs on a home run while walking two and striking out three in 3 2/3 innings of work. In total this year, he ...

The 39-year-old veteran reliever will stick in the big leagues for his 15th major league season in 2022. He had a 4.67 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 60 strikeouts, 21 walks and three saves in 61 2/3 relief outings for the Oakland Athletics in 2021. Romo also had 12 holds in his 66 appearances.

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Sergio Romo took his fourth blown save of the season Sunday versus the Angels as the A's bullpen continues to limp to the finish line. To be fair, this one wasn't all on Romo as his defense let him down and one of his two runs was unearned. Still, he retired just one of the four batters he faced before being lifted for Lou Trivino. Romo has earned three saves recently for the A's, but the bullpen has been a mess as Andrew Chafin is also been in the mix, as ...

Oakland Athletics relief pitchers Andrew Chafin and Sergio Romo combined for one of the worst innings of the season for the A's, as they allowed five runs to turn a feel-good afternoon into a miserable loss. Starter Cole Irvin silenced Texas across seven innings and Oakland had to feel good heading into the eighth inning with a four-run cushion. Romo changed that, however, as he retired just two of the six batters he faced and was charged with four earned runs. Chafin couldn't clean up Romo's...

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Sergio Romo allowed a three-run homer to suffer the blown save Friday at Toronto. Oakland led this game by six runs at one point, but after Lou Trivino and Yusmeiro Petit were ineffective, manager Bob Melvin turned to the veteran Romo who allowed two hits before serving up a three-run shot to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Romo had earned two saves while Trivino was sidelined with a back injury, but this performance could mean someone else gets the next save chance for...

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Sergio Romo pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday to collect the save against the Tigers. It was Romo's second save of the series as Lou Trivino (back) has been sidelined with back spasms. Romo seems to be the closer-of-choice in Trivino's absence as the former Giant has been good in a setup role for manager Bob Melvin all season long. Romo is sporting a 3.18 ERA and a solid 25.2% strikeout rate and brings postseason experience to the closer role from ...

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Sergio Romo pitched a clean ninth inning against the Indians on Friday night and earned the win thanks to a walk-off homer by Jed Lowrie. Romo was dominant in his lone inning of work; he needed just 10 pitches to retire the side while racking up two strikeouts along the way. He hasn't recorded a save this season, but has six holds and has pitched better than his 4.09 ERA would indicate. He's got a 2.99 FIP and a 2.90 xERA while posting more than a ...
