According to a report by FoxSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal the Rays made the largest bid for free agent reliever Sergio Romo.
The Rays, not the Dodgers, had the high bid for free agent Sergio Romo, according to major-league sources; the former Giants reliever, who grew up in a family of Dodgers fans in Brawley, Ca., took less to stay on the West Coast, according to major-league sources. His deal with the Dodgers, which is pending a physical, is for one year and $3 million, per FanRag Sports.
As we all know money isn’t the only factor in free agency, but if this rumor is true it shows that the Rays still have money to work with and could put that money to work in the reliever market.
