Blue Jays Release Ricky Romero

The Blue Jays have released lefty Ricky Romero, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca
tweets. Romero will make $7.5MM in the last year of a $30.1MM contract he
signed in late 2010. He will receive a $600K buyout for 2016.
Romero, the sixth overall pick in the 2005 draft, was once a promising young
starter. His best year was 2011, when he posted a 2.92 ERA, 7.1 K/9 and 3.2
BB/9 in 225 innings and finished tenth in AL Cy Young balloting. The
following season, though, was a huge step backward — he had a 5.77 ERA and
led the league in walks, then had elbow surgery after the season.
After that, Romero never returned to form. He spent much of 2013 in the
minors, and the Jays outrighted him in June and then again in October. A knee
injury ended his 2014 season after nine minor-league starts, and he had not
yet pitched in 2015. According to Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star (via
Twitter), Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos says that since Romero was in the last
year of his deal and was not close to being able to help, there was no reason
for the team to keep him.
前蓝鸟王牌,完全回不去了吗...?
不知道还有没有球队想要捡去修修看呢?
