Social Media Reacts To Romano Signing

Here’s what people were saying about the signing:
@blakestbanter: “It’s been a rough stretch for Romano in recent years, in large part due to injuries. The Canada native was one of MLB’s best relievers from 2021-2023. It’s a longshot to get him back on track but worth taking a chance.”
@Brandon_N_Wile: “Rockies have had some surprisingly good pitching performances from this year. Romano might be running out of opportunities. Curious what tweaks they make with him.”
@RockyMtnRooftop: “Rox add a depth arm and look see if they can make some tweaks to get him back on track. Reminder he was an all star closer for Toronto in 2022 and 2023.”
