Sergio Romo reportedly has some big market clubs eyeing his services.
The Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers all have interest in the free-agent reliever, according to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick. CBSSports.com’s Jon Heyman confirmed the report Wednesday evening.
Romo has spent his entire seven-year career with the San Francisco Giants, winning three World Series titles since breaking into the majors in 2008. The right-hander saved 38 games during an All-Star campaign in 2013, but he was removed from the Giants’ closer role this season in favor of Santiago Casilla.
Romo, who turns 32 in March, posted a 3.72 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 64 appearances spanning 58 innings this season. He owns a 2.51 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 405 career relief appearances, during which he’s compiled 78 saves.
Heyman suggests the Yankees could use Romo as a right-handed complement to left-hander Andrew Miller, who recently signed a four-year, $36 million contract with New York. Dellin Betances would serve as New York’s closer.
