Jordan Romano pitched in 17 games for the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays, permitting 14 runs in 15â…“ innings. I think it is fair to say that few people (and especially not too many fantasy managers) had an inkling he would be a relevant option in 2020.
I mean, have you met 2020? It's been a tough year in myriad ways, both on and off the field in American sports. When it comes to relief pitching, it's been way tougher than usual. Romano is 27 but still rookie-eligible. He has shined through and, at the midpoint of this wild 2020 season, gets the slight edge over Trevor Rosenthal for fantasy MVP among relievers.
