A’s free agents: Mariners sign Sergio Romo, Tigers sign Andrew Chafin

The Oakland A’s lost most of their 2021 bullpen to free agency this winter, and two of them found new homes over the past week.

Last Wednesday, the Detroit Tigers signed lefty Andrew Chafin to a two-year, $13 million contract. The deal includes a player opt-out clause after 2022.

This Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners signed righty Sergio Romo to a one-year, $2 million contract, reports MLB insider Jesse Sanchez along with Joel Sherman of the NY Post. The deal is pending a physical.

Romo spent all of last season in Oakland, overcoming a slow start to reel off four sparkling months from May-Aug.
