Former Blue Jays pitcher Jordan Romano speaks on his current issues
The Philadelphia Phillies signed the right-hander in the offseason, banking on a rebound after a rough season that ended with an injury during his time with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Despite having a terrible start to the 2025 MLB season, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jordan Romano is determined to turn things around.
Jon Conahan from Athlon Sports writes that despite some troubling signs early in the season, the two-time All-Star and Canadian native remains optimistic, insisting there's still plenty of baseball left to play and that this is simply a rough stretch.
«A lot of season left. We expect to win. Just a little rough patch.» -Romano
Phillies fans aren't exactly comforted by talk of a long season. They expect results now, especially with an organization and fan base that demand success at the highest level. Romano currently sports an awful ERA of 13.50 and for some reason, Phillies manager Rob Thomson continues to allow him to close games.
"That's all the Phillies have done over the past few seasons, and when it doesn't happen, players will hear about it. Whether that's fair to Romano and the rest of the guys on the roster, they have to start playing up to standards, and quickly." -Conahan
Romano has been a reliable performer for quite some time, so his current struggles are certainly unexpected. Still, things can shift quickly and after dealing with an injury last season, it's possible this version of his performance is closer to what he is now.
Based on his current performance, Blue Jays fans are definitely pleased with the orginization's decision to not resign Romano in the offseason.
