Romano had an extremely difficult season in Philadelphia as he finished with an 8.23 ERA in 42.2 innings pitched to go along with 47 strikeouts and 8 saves.
Despite having the worst season of his career, many expect Romano to still be able to land a solid new deal as there has been rumors that he signs with the New York Mets for $21 million across 3 years.

It will be interesting to see how big of a deal Romano is able to land this winter after the worst season of his career and if he will be able to bounce back in 2026.
