The Philadelphia Phillies sign J.C. Romero
The Phillies have signed lefty reliever J.C. Romero to a minor league contract. The Phillies will likely use Romero out of their bullpen and if he throws strikes, he will be effective. In 23 games this season, Romero is 1-0 with 1 save, a 3.15 ERA and a 1.95 WHIP. Romero pitched 20 innings for the Red Sox this season and he allowed 24 hits, walked 15 batters and whiffed 11.
