The Oakland A’s bullpen was ravaged by free agency at the beginning of this winter, losing four relievers including their star closer. However, a late surge of additions was capped off Sunday night with one more particularly impactful pickup.
The A’s signed free agent reliever Sergio Romo to a one-year contract, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. It’s a $2.25 million deal, adds Jeff Passan of ESPN.
The Romo news came just 19 minutes after word that Oakland had also brought back their own free agent reliever Yusmeiro Petit on a similar one-year pact.
