Could the Giants bring back Sergio Romo, too?

SAN FRANCISCO – One day after reports broke that the Giants would renew a relationship with Pablo Sandoval, another of their former World Series heroes shook loose.

The Dodgers designated right-hander Sergio Romo for assignment on Thursday.

Romo, 34, had a 6.12 ERA in 30 appearances and had barely pitched for the Dodgers this month. The NL West leaders needed his roster spot to add left-hander Grant Dayton to the bullpen.

Like Sandoval, Romo was more tolerated than respected in many corners of the Giants clubhouse by the end of his tenure. But Romo did not badmouth anyone on the way out, even while signing a $3 million contract to join their archrival, instead expressing that his first desire was to stay and that he’d always be grateful to fans for their support here.
