Twins, Marlins Complete Sergio Romo Trade

By Connor Byrne | September 1, 2019 at 3:15pm CDT

TODAY: Per Craig Mish of FNTSY Radio, the trade has been finalized with the Marlins sending cash considerations to the Twins. It had been previously reported that Minnesota would receive a player to be named later in addition to Romo and Vallimont.

JULY 27, 8:21pm: Both teams have announced the trade.

7:48pm: Righty Chris Vallimont is the minor league pitcher going to Minnesota, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. They’re also getting a player to be named later, Jon Morosi of MLB.com reports.

7:33pm: Romo is indeed going to the Twins, Jon Heyman of MLB Network tweets. The Twins are also getting a minor league pitcher, Joel Sherman of the New York Post relays. The Marlins will acquire first base prospect Lewin Diaz, according to Betsy Helfand of the Pioneer Press.

7:28pm: The Twins are “deep into talks” to acquire Marlins reliever Sergio Romo, Jeff Passan of ESPN reports. A deal’s likely to be completed.

The 36-year-old Romo served his purpose for the rebuilding Marlins, who signed him for $2.5MM in free agency last winter with the intent of eventually trading him. A former Giant, Dodger and Ray, the three-time world champion continued his effectiveness in Miami, where he notched a 3.58 ERA/3.88 FIP with 7.88 K/9 against 3.11 BB/9 in 37 2/3 innings. Romo also converted 17 of 18 save attempts.

Romo’s velocity maxes out in the mid-80s, making him one of the game’s least imposing hurlers, and he only induces ground balls at a 36.4 percent clip. However, Romo has long shown a penchant for forcing a boatload of infield pop-ups, having done so 14 percent of the time this season, and generating a large amount of soft contact. Romo ranks near the top of the league in hard-hit rate and exit velocity against, according to Statcast, which credits him with an even better expected weighted on-base average against (.276) than the .282 wOBA hitters have mustered off him this year.

Based on his career production and the numbers he has totaled this season, Romo should be a welcome pickup for the Twins, who’ve been in the market for bullpen help for weeks. And his addition shouldn’t preclude them from finding more late-game aid in the coming days. The Twins’ bullpen entered play Saturday ranking better than average in K/BB ratio (ninth) and FIP (11th), but the unit’s closer to middle of the pack in ERA  (14th). Moreover, the Twins have jettisoned a handful of notable relievers – Mike Morin, Matt Magill, Adalberto Mejia and Blake Parker – since last week. Those four combined for just over 100 innings of work as part of Minnesota’s relief corps this season. Of their remaining arms, only closer Taylor Rogers and setup man Ryne Harper have recorded easily above-average numbers over a large sample of work.

In Diaz, 22, the Twins are parting with a player they originally signed out of the Dominican Republic for $1.4MM in 2013. Baseball America (subscription required) just ranked Diaz as the Twins’ 10th-best prospect earlier this month. BA lauds Diaz’s defensive ability at first, though it’s worth pointing out he has also excelled on the offensive side in 2019. After opening the season on a tear at the High-A level, Diaz advanced to Double-A for the first time and has since slashed .309/.348/.602 (165 wRC+) with six home runs in 135 plate appearances.

Also 22, Vallimont joined the Marlins as a fifth-round pick just last year. Back then, BA highlighted Vallimont’s fastball – which can hit 96 mph – and “wipeout slider.” More recently, the outlet rated as him as Miami’s 27th overall prospect. Vallimont has produced terrific results this year between the Single-A and High-A levels, where he has combined for a 3.16 ERA with 10.4 K/9 against 3.2 BB/9 in 105 1/3 innings.

          People said the same thing about Carrasco at one time….”ooooh, I’ll believe in that headcase when I see it.” The truth is, when Danny Salazar is healthy, he has one of the most lethal fastball-changeup combinations in the game. How people can ignore pure talent is beyond me. Guys with the stuff like Carrasco and Salazar and Bauer are entitled to patience, particularly in a market like Cleveland, which cannot afford to be impatient with genuine talent. Danny’s health just may be the factor that allows Cleveland to roll the dice on acquiring lineup help via a Bauer deal.

    A positive 1st step, but only that. Need to add another RP AND make a strong push to acquire Syndergaard. If Mets demand Lewis OR Kirilloff (not both) you make it happen. Thor is under team control for next 2 seasons although arbitration eligible. Cutting ties with both Gibson & Odorizzi allows Falvey (and Pohlads) to keep payroll within their budget.

    The Marlins actually got a decent return for Romo it looks like. Lewin Diaz isn’t a star by any means but .290 with 19 HRs in A/AA isn’t half bad. I could see this guy turning into a decent ML 1B/pinch hitter in a year or two

        Yes b/c that was so important for this organization to do in 2019 right. 1b is sooo tough to figure out, especially when your only legit hitter you actually have is already a 1st baseman. Diaz was Rule 5 eligible too. Typical. I can give a $#!+ about Romo. No reason Vallimont should be in this deal, AND they’ll also get a player to be named later. Great rebuilding type move right there. Makes incredible sense, like all the other guys they tossed in to deals

          Nobody was giving up a prospect of Díaz caliber for Romo. Romo alone was going to fetch a low level non-prospect.

          The trade is basically Vallimont for Díaz with Romo thrown in to sweeten the pot. Romo was the foot in the door for Miami to land a legit prospect that they actually valued.

          Given Miami’s SP depth. Vallimont was always going to be trade fodder.

          Caleb Smith is 27 with 4 years of control.
          Lopez, Alcántara, Gallen, and Yamamoto are all 23 or younger with 5-6 years of control left.

          Then they have Sixto, Cabrera, Garrett, Rodgers, Neidert, Guzman, Holloway, Fitterer, Duggar, Stewart, etc all ahead of Vallimont.

          Even if 60% of the guys ahead of him end up busting, Miami still wouldn’t have much need for him and that assuming Miami never acquires any other pitchers that are better than him in the next couple years.

          Vallimont has no future with the Marlins. And you’ll probably see several other SPs shipped off for bats at some point.

          Díaz is the type of kid Miami needs more of. If they can add more like him by chucking away with low level/mid tier prospects and spare vet parts, they should absolutely do it.

          You are misunderstanding my points…also, pitching depth can quickly thin out. Just ask the Marlins from a couple of years ago. How did that happen? From tossing guys into deals for no reason. They “absolutely loved” Diaz. That’s what happened, as is typical of every other move they make where they dont care about value as long as they get what they want. And I never argued against trading Vallimont in general. As a 1st baseman, Diaz is going to have to really hit. Hopefully he does.

          Marlins didn’t toss Vallimont into a deal for no reason. Romo alone wasn’t going to fetch anything of value.

          He was just the conversation starter for a larger trade to land a kid they wanted.

          Do you have issue with a Vallimont for Díaz deal? I don’t. And anybody else should either. Adding Romo to that doesn’t move the needle at all for the fish.

      I follow minnesota as well as a few other teams. I liked Lewin Diaz, I really liked what the twins did with him over the years. I think he will be a solid major leaguer someday and to get that for a closer on the tail-end of his career is a job well done by the marlins. I give minnesota credit as well because you take away 2 of his early year opener games where he yielded 4 er’s in 1 inn each and he’s been very dominant, especially lately. Should be an asset for the remainder of 2019.

    Seems like a sweat deal for the twins and a ok deal for the marlins. Wouldn’t call it a fail like their normal trades, but throwing that extra minor leaguer kinda wash out the prospect they are getting a tiny bit. Overall…. B+ for the twins, B- for the marlins

    This should put Cleveland into panic mode.

    Diaz is good; the Marlins did okay here.

    It’s tough to grade this as much of anything for the Twins or Marlins. Since Romo is basically just a cheap rental middle reliever at this point the real swap is Vallimont for Diaz. I can understand the Twins moving Diaz as he’s roadblocked and Vallimont is roadblocked for the Marlins as well.

    Hopefully something notable comes from this epic deadline move. I’m sure all of baseball is absolutely enthralled by it.

      Pretty obvious it is not a high impact, national news deal. That said, I think it balances just fine in that the Twins, with a farm pretty well stocked with hitters but in search of pitching depth, matched up in a deal with a pitching rich team who needed hitting. We’ll have to wait to see how the 22 year olds do in the future, as they are the core of the deal. Romo is good veteran piece to help stabilize the young bullpen for the stretch, although Houston, NYY, et al will not be frightened by 84 mph.

    Villimont’s value is actually on par or better then Hatch (To Toronto for Phelps) and Johnston (To Toronto for Hudson) and that is who the Twins got In return WITH Romo so I think they did well in this trade even if Lewin Diaz lives up to his potential.
