Ricky Romero just closed an offer with the Jays which will pay him just over 30 million dollars for the following 5 seasons. This is a vital deal for the Blue Jays.
With just 2 years of pitching for the Blue Jays, and being only 25 years old, Romero has been strong for the Blue Jays this season.
The agreement is a bit risky with only 2 years of big league experience. The Jays see him as a probable future ace and locked him up to a reasonable package. Romero’s readiness to play and his control, both physical and emotional advancement was considered by the Blue Jays in their offer.
Romero joins Shaun Marcum atop the club win totals with 10 each. Morrow and Cecil have 9 wins. The Blue Jays possess the enviable situation that there four best starting pitchers are all under 30. All the way from Cecil being the kid on the block at 24 to Marcum being the oldest at 28, the Jays have a very good pitching future.
