Prior to last night’s game, word circulated that the Tampa Bay Rays would not be moving Sergio Romo before the August 31 trade deadline. Speculation is that he may have been claimed on revocable waivers by another team and the Rays decided he was more important to them.
Sergio Romo, who could help a lot of teams, is said “not going anywhere.” he was believed to have been on waivers earlier, so it seems likely he was claimed and pulled back.

I’ll admit. Two months ago I wrote that the Rays needed a new closer.
