Ricky Romero Announces Retirement

By Jeff Todd | January 18, 2019 at 10:30pm CDT

Left-handed hurler Ricky Romero recently announced his retirement in an Instagram post that flew under our radar at the time. He hangs up his spikes at 34 years of age.

At one point, the former sixth-overall draft pick looked to be among the game’s better young pitchers — a quality rotation piece who could handle a big innings load, even if not an ace. But his career spun out in surprisingly quick and conclusive fashion, and he was never able to get it going again.

Upon breaking into the majors in 2009, Romero turned in a string of productive seasons, improving his bottom-line results as he went. He inked a $30.1MM extension in the midst of the 2010 campaign, a significant contract that nevertheless seemed destined to be a good one for the organization after the ensuing campaign.

Romero’s third season in the majors was his best — a 225-inning, 2.92 ERA gem in 2011. He earned an All-Star nod and placed tenth in the American League Cy Young voting. Though he was not then and never would be much of a strikeout pitcher, Romero induced loads of grounders (54.7%) and certainly seemed capable of continuing to deliver strong results for years to come.

Unfortunately, disaster struck in 2012. Romero pitched a full season, but that may not have been wise. As he discussed with Vice Sports more recently, he was battling through pain over the course of that season. Romero  ended the year with a 5.77 ERA, an ugly combination of 6.2 K/9 and 5.2 BB/9, and lingering health issues — he ultimately required surgery for matching torn quad tendons — that he never fully recovered from.

As it turned out, Romero would only throw 7 1/3 MLB frames after the end of his age-27 season. The Blue Jays ended up cutting their losses and absorbing the remainder of the money they owed Romero. He ended up landing with the Giants in an effort to find himself, but never managed to gain traction during his three years with the organization. A brief run in the Mexican League also fizzled out.

As the above-linked piece documents, Romero had tried more recently to get on track by engaging a few trusted advisers and trying to get his flow back. Obviously, that attempt did not enable the southpaw to make it back to the major league hill, but it certainly can’t be said that he fell short for a lack of trying. MLBTR wishes Romero the best in his future undertakings.

    Kinda seems like something that didn’t need announcing. I assumed dude was long gone already. Got some big time money early so hats off to him. Shame he didn’t put it all together, considering the potential and early success.

      Why would you reply to something that doesn’t need announcing??? I’m glad they did. I remember Romero having that great season and I if I heard his name mentioned down the road I would like to know what happened to him. I doubt very much if we will hear about poor Zac when he retires but hopefully someone acknowledges you.

        He wasn’t a one-year wonder.. he won 13 games at age 24.. 14 games at 25 and 15 games at 26.. and then pitched injured and went 9 – 14 ..but still started 32 games and pitched over 180 innings..
        It should be a lesson to other young players out there..when you have the opportunity to sign a contract that takes you through your mid too late twenties do it..you give up some money in doing that but you should always grab the opportunity to set yourself up for life financially.. and Ricky did that.

          Excellent post!! I’m sure Pedroia is glad he did just that, and I hope Mookie is smart enough to do the same because he’s a little guy who plays a reckless outfield ala Freddie Lynn and therefore has a high probability of getting injured.

      RR Cool Jay was abominable against the Red Sox, even during his two “good” years. They got in his head, he had no mental toughness despite being from East LA. Quite a disappointment for a 6th overall pick who was also the first pitcher drafted that year. Jays fans bought into the hype though. They embraced him in 2009 more than Halladay, which was weird.

        Yes it’s a requirement. Some players like Romero keep trying to come back which is admirable.

        But this guy hasn’t seen the big leagues in six years, and wasn’t a big name before then, so it’s just a “filler” story til something real happens.

    I was at his debut game in Toronto against Rick Porcello, also making his debut, and the Tigers. Bummer to see his career officially end. Thought I’d be seeing two future stars that day.

    I remember being so excited when he was drafted. The thought of him pairing with Doc as a mentor for years to come seemed great; then of course the season that Romero debuted Halladay was shipped off to Philly so that didn’t last long. Still, though, Romero progressed and that made the loss of Halladay a little more palatable especially as Romero put together a nice sophomore season and a fantastic 2011 season where he made the All-Star team. Then things just went off the rails in a big way. Sucks that things went like they did, but at the end of the day four plus years in the majors (three of them quite respectable) and a fat bank account isn’t too bad.

    The thing that I hate most is that retirements like this make me feel old lol. I’m now the same age that Romero was when he had that All-Star season, and now he’s in his mid-30s. I hate seeing these guys retire when I can remember watching them as a kid. Who’s next to officially announce their retirement? Adam Lind? Aaron Hill? How many more minor league deals does Travis Snider have left in him?

      Yeah it was amazing how Jays fans didn’t care about Doc anymore after RR Cool Jay made his debut. Maybe it was partly because they knew Doc was leaving, but still it was cold how it played out that year. Doc deserved a lot more love than RR got.

          I know perception can sometimes be different for people, but some things are indisputable.

          Here’s the box score for Doc’s last home game in a Jays uniform:

          link to baseball-reference.com

          As you can see, he pitched his heart out. Complete game shutout, no walks and 9 K’s.

          As you can also see, paid attendance (for a Friday night game no less) was only 20,668 and only about 13,000 were actually in the building. The place should have been sold out, or darn near sold out. He tossed a masterpiece, but hardly nobody showed up. The man was the greatest pitcher in franchise history, a sure-fire HOF’er, and was also a great person as well with his charity work, donations, etc. He clearly wasn’t supported at the end of his time in Toronto, which is sad. And RR Cool Jay was part of the reason why.

          From the standpoint of attendance I can’t disagree with you. I think in another post you mentioned that Toronto fans are fickle? And that is absolutely true for teams not named “Maple Leafs”.

          Those 13,000 (I was at that game, btw) probably represent the core fan base. Unfortunate but that’s life in a hockey town. If the Raptors weren’t successful you’d see an equivalent downturn in attendance. So I think it’s unfair to say that “He wasn’t supported”, but also unfair to say that “everyone supported him”. There should have been more, for sure.

      Great point, GB. I watched a lot of Romero in Toronto and John Farrell did him no favours. Romero was prone to outbursts, he’d get awfully frustrated with himself, yet the Jays (Farrell) never seemed to redirect that energy. Farrell had the same see-no-evil approach in Boston … just typing the name John Farrell irritates me.

      Best of luck to Ricky.

        Publicly Farrell always supported his players, but privately he said what needed to be said. Cool Jay was simply mentally weak, it was especially obvious against good teams like the Red Sox.

    BBRef’s picture of him has him wearing a Giants cap. They really need to work on the pictures they have on player pages.

    In seasons when you knew they weren’t going to contend, RR was always a bright spot when his turn came up. At his best, he was un-hittable, which was most of the time. Nobody worked harder to try to get it back, either. Thank you for some really good times, Ricky, and all the best.

      In all fairness, Jays fans are obsessive hockey fans who follow baseball only when there’s no hockey being played. Just like Boston fans follow college basketball only when there’s no baseball or football going on.

          Spend some time in Toronto before accusing others of being uninformed. And for the love of God, learn the definition of the word “bigot”.

    The 2012 injury is unfortunate, RR’s first three years in the league were really good. Never saw him as an ace, but a solid number 3 on a good team eating innings, winning more than losing, and keeping a sub 4.00 ERA.

    Best of luck to RickyRo. For a brief moment things were looking great for him. And then everything came crashing down.

    Saw some comments about Farrell doing Romero no favors. People forget 2013; some injuries popped up, and after Anthopoulos said he wouldn’t bring Romero up until the team thought he was ready, they brought him up in a panic. Early May he was forced to start two games (I attended the first one), and all ended in disaster. They sent Romero to Single-A in 2013 in hopes he’d return to form, similar to what Gord Ash did with Roy Halladay in 2001. Only there was no Mel Queen in Florida to help RickyRo. And then Panic Anthopoulos scrapped the plans. Yes, Toronto’s precious AA was negligent and unwise in his handling of Romero. Probably doesn’t matter in-hindsight. Then again, two years later he called Michael Saunders up too soon from a serious knee injury and that ended ugly.

    Although brief, Romero had some shining moments. Thanks for the memories.

      Finally a very good post, from someone here, thank you!!! As for Farrell, a portion of the small Jays fanbase disliked him for wanting to leave Toronto and manage in Boston. They disliked him even more for winning a championship the year after he left the Jays. It’s all about jealousy, sadly, which is why they have biased opinions against him regardless of the subject.

        There’s a lingering bitterness with regards to how he engineered his departure for sure. Winning the World Series also did no help.

        Let me ask you this – was there joy or disappointment when he was let go as Red Sox manager?

          I don’t think there was either joy or disappointment. It was more a feeling that his departure was understandable, because of the rumoured affair with the reporter and how he supposedly lost the clubhouse. Age was certainly a factor as he was too old school for today’s players. So while fans respected him as a manager and were grateful for the championship and division titles, they didn’t get too upset about it. When you lose the clubhouse, it’s easier to replace the manager than it is to replace all the players.

          Such a clown. You don’t represent the Toronto baseball fan perspective. Not even close. The TrimReaper post is far more accurate bc based on Boston reporting.

          ^MarTINY – based on Boston reporting? I’m a Blue Jays fan. I don’t read the Boston papers or online columns. I couldn’t tell you what they reported.

          Perhaps it’s because I don’t buy into the Toronto media narrative since the owner of the team owns the radio and TV broadcast. They let the Jays front office off the hook for Romero and even Farrell. You can add Yan Gomes too since he became part of the second phase of the Farrell deal.

        Fever Pitch – two things from my perspective regarding the John Farrell situation….

        1) John Farrell wanted to be a manager in the big leagues. He accepted the Jays job because his dream job wasn’t available in Boston. Wanting that Boston job is no different than one of us leaving our current job for our dream job.

        2) Farrell was promised things by management and they were not fulfilled. Anthopoulos also wanted more control over the team. Farrell didn’t want that and wanted to leave. AA trades him (got fleeced twice, first with Boston and then flipping the player to Cleveland), and then hires John Gibbons for stint #2.

        As much as fans can be upset over a guy that no longer wanted to be here, I really can’t blame Farrell for wanting the better job. Yes he had a contract, but so do the players that are traded without a no trade clause.

    Ricky Romero was a decent pitcher. Was he cut out to be the ace of the staff absolutely not but he was thrown into that roll and as long as things were going good he was fine.
    But he would give up a long ball and you could see him come apart, he got thinking about that homerun and his whole game fell apart. He never seemed to get around that.
    As for the Jays, they are destined to be in the bottom half for at least 10 yrs. Shapiro has about 2yr left on his deal, surely the owners will realize this by the end of his contract, then he and Atkins will disappear and depended on the new President and GM is will take another 7 yrs to correct what these two have done.
