You may have missed it, but late on Friday night the New York Yankees signed former Cincinnati Reds pitcher Sal Romano.
Other than having a prototypical name for a guy in the Bronx, we’re truly not sure why general manager Brian Cashman opted to strike a deal here … other than for pitching depth at the Triple-A level.
Romano, a 27-year-old from Syosset, New York, has not been anywhere close to effective since debuting back in 2017.
