Toronto Blue Jays pitcher is set to become a free agent if the team decides to not offer him a contract by tonight's deadline and reports claim the teams seems to be leaning that way.
Over the past week or so, the Blue Jays have been rumored to being going back and forth on whether or not they will tender a contract to Romano but most recent reports suggest they might let him walk.
The Blue Jays are looking to possibly non-tender pitcher Jordan Romano by tonight's deadline
Romano is projected to make $7.75 million this season if the Blue Jays end up tendering him a contract which is the same amount he was paid in 2024 which was a massive overpay as he put up a 6.59 ERA in the few appearances he made and was injured the rest of the season.
According to reports, the Blue Jays seem to be truly looking into letting Romano become a free agent due to his decline last season and his multiple set backs due his elbow injury recovery.
The Blue Jays are considering non-tendering Jordan Romano, according to

He's projected to make $7.75M next season. Would be a bummer of an ending to what's been a great run for Romano.

Some have pointed out that a salary of $7.75 million is a lot of money for a pitcher that has so many uncertainties even if his history with the team has been great prior to last season.
$7.75 million freed up would not be considered chump change... you could do some things with that.
The Blue Jays have to make a decision on not only Romano but 3 other bullpen pitchers by tonight's deadline which include Erik Swanson, Zach Pop and Dillon Tate.
