Here\u2019s what people were saying about the signing:<\/p>\n

@blakestbanter:<\/a> \u201cIt\u2019s been a rough stretch for Romano in recent years, in large part due to injuries. The Canada native was one of MLB\u2019s best relievers from 2021-2023. It\u2019s a longshot to get him back on track but worth taking a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

@Brandon_N_Wile:<\/a> \u201cRockies have had some surprisingly good pitching performances from this year. Romano might be running out of opportunities. Curious what tweaks they make with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

@RockyMtnRooftop:<\/a> \u201cRox add a depth arm and look see if they can make some tweaks to get him back on track. Reminder he was an all star closer for Toronto in 2022 and 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n
