The Los Angeles Angels officially moved on from a right-handed relief pitcher on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Jordan Romano's MLB transactions log, the AL West club released the closer. The Angels designated the veteran and former Toronto Blue Jays All-Star for assignment a few days ago.
Romano signed a $2 million contract with the Angels during the offseason, but he is now a free agent and available to sign with any interested club.
"Any interest from other clubs would not be based on recent trends. Romano has had a tough time in the past few years. He was injured for much of the 2024 season with the Blue Jays. He signed with the Phillies last year and had awful results," Darragh McDonald of MLB Trade Rumors wrote.
"The Angels tried to get a bounce-back but didn’t succeed. Between those three clubs, he has tossed 64 1/3 innings since the start of 2024, allowing 8.11 earned runs per nine."

Los Angeles took a shot in the dark with Romano, hoping the ability that made him one of the best closers in baseball for three years with the Blue Jays would resurface. It's become clear that those days are a thing of the past.
The closer's role was handed to him due to long-term injuries to Ben Joyce, Robert Stephenson, and Kirby Yates.
