The Orioles announced that they've agreed to sign left-hander J.C. Romero to a minor-league deal, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun tweets. MDR Sports Management represents Romero, a veteran of 14 MLB seasons. He will report to Triple-A Norfolk.
The Cardinals signed Romero to a one-year deal worth $750K plus incentives back in December only to release him six weeks into the season. The 35-year-old appeared in 11 games with St. Louis this year, allowing 14 runs and nine earned runs in eight innings of work. He spent the 2011 season with the Phillies and Rockies, posting a 4.01 ERA with 6.9 K/9, 5.5 BB/9 and a 54.4% ground ball rate in 24 2/3 innings.
What??
Guy’s got more lives than a cat.
He’s a lefty they live forever
SO… I guess he is replacing D-Train as the left handed reliever in AAA?
no, he’s replacing Zach Phillips, who went on the DL with a shoulder injury.
So, was this plan B if Oswalt didn’t sign?
great batting practice pitcher, ask the cardinals and they have a long leash……..
Who don’t the Orioles want?
