EDGE Analysis

Romero spent the bulk of the 2016 season on the shelf with an injury, but the Giants decided to bring him back as organizational depth now that he's back to full health.

He fell off hard in 2012, and then struggled at the Triple-A level in both 2013 and 2014. He's unlikely to make an impact at the big-league level in any organization.

Romero was released by the Blue Jays on Saturday, SportsNet's Shi Davidi reports. Romero had his time as a fantasy baseball commodity back in 2010 and 2011, but has either been injured or ineffective since then. It seems unlikely that he will ever be heard from again at the highest level.

Romero's comeback bid hit a high note six days ago, when he pitched four strong innings against the Rays.

Ricky Romero pitched four innings and allowed just one run in relief Wednesday against the Rays. Romero was sitting in the low-90s in the game, too, so it looks like he's turning into a legitimate candidate to make the Blue Jays.
