What Happened In 2017: Struggled with the Dodgers before being DFA’d and traded to Tampa Bay.
When Sergio Romo signed with the Dodgers for $3 million ahead of the 2017 season, it was a sort of homecoming for him. Although he’d spent his entire career to that point with the Giants, he was a Southern California native who’d grown up a Dodger fan. It had all the makings of a feel-good story.
Unfortunately, the good feelings didn’t last long. Romo didn’t fare very well in Los Angeles at all, and he struggled particularly with the home run ball, allowing seven dingers in his 25 innings of work.
