Romo, 40, signed a minor-league deal with San Francisco and will appear in exhibitions vs. A’s before retiring as a Giant.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Before Edwin Diaz and Timmy Trumpet took over the baseball world in 2022, it was another set of horns that were instantly recognizable for Giants fans. When Banda MS’ “El Mechón” played over the loudspeakers at Third and King, it meant Sergio Romo had left his post in bullpen, back then still in left-field foul territory, and was on his way to close out another game.
The Giants signed Romo, 40, to a minor-league deal with an invitation to big-league camp, manager Gabe Kapler confirmed after The Athletic first reported the news. The intent isn’t to beef up their bullpen but to send off Romo into retirement with the organization that drafted him, where he established himself as a big leaguer and, most importantly, where he won three World Series championships.
“It feels like the right thing to do,” Kapler said. “Anytime you have a player coming in feeling like he’s being given a good opportunity to kind of close the book on what has been a phenomenal career, it just kind of feels right, to be honest.”
