Is Sergio Romo Crossing Enemy Lines

San Francisco Giants’ great Sergio Romo may be crossing enemy lines, as he reportedly has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The third member of the San Francisco Giants’ “Core Four” out in the bullpen is gone, as Sergio Romo has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Giants’ hated rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Enough players were picked ahead of Romo to fill every single spot on every team’s 25-man roster throughout the league, with over 100 players to spare.

Pitching for the High-A San Jose Giants in 2007, Romo put his name firmly on the map.

MLB.com named Romo the High-A Relief Pitcher of the Year, and the Giants would go on to win the California League Championship.

Over nine years with the Giants, Romo made over 500 appearances and built his reputation as a gutsy pitcher that was going to beat opponents with his pitch.

Only four players (Gary Lavelle, Christy Mathewson, Greg Minton, and Carl Hubbell) pitched in more games for the Giants than Romo.

In the 2012 World Series, with the Giants on the cusp of clinching their second World Series in three seasons, it was Romo on to pitch the 10th inning.

Romo was part of a bullpen that failed time and time again to hold leads, and though he didn’t blow a save during the regular season, he blew one in game three against the Chicago Cubs and couldn’t get an out in game four.

The Giants didn’t offer Romo a contract, and Romo was very vocal in stating as much.
