Don’t give me hope bby

Jays prediction: Romano will hit the 10-day IL with a mysterious "oblique" issue, and Nate Pearson will step into the closer role by next week

This guy would have been the closer if he was healthy this season. I think it’s a wait and see. I could see him come in for holds and to give Romano competition on saves. I am not ready to pull him off IL just yet.

Thx for this! I added to stash as we luckily have plenty of IL and NA spots.

I added him after the all star break but I'm just here for the next year closer battle. Hopefully he comes out firing the heat and I can pawn him off in the offseason.

Drop Diego Castillo for Merryweather? SV only, no holds.

Romano surely stays the man for them right?
He’s been almost untouchable as of late, no way they put a guy who’s been in the IL all year in before him
Romano went from untouchable to terrible last two performances so it's something to watch imo
The first one yeah but the second one was a cheap shot home run to a hot hitter. I’m not concerned
I agree with you that I wouldn’t replace him with the guy coming off the IL, gona take a lot more for him to lose his job. But sean Murphy was like 2 for his last 31 before that dinger lol, that’s not a hot hitter .
He's been overworked, because the pen has been shit.
Unless Romano starts struggling and Merryweather hits the ground running I doubt romano loses his closer role.
