Pitcher Jordan Romano was the first to go when the Blue Jays surprisingly left him exposed for the Rule 5 Draft. The 25-year old was quickly snatched up by the Chicago White Sox who then shipped Romano to the Texas Rangers.
The native of Markham, Ontario sported a 12-8 record with a 4.11 earned run average in 26 minor league starts last season. He figures to land a bullpen role with the Rangers when the team breaks camp at the conclusion of spring training.
Romano must remain on the Rangers 25-man roster for the entire season or be offered back to the Blue Jays as part of the Rule 5 stipulations.
