Closer Jordan Romano and the Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a one-year contract, sources told ESPN, fortifying a bullpen that served as a strength during the regular season but crumbled in the playoffs.

The Philadelphia Phillies have signed closer Jordan Romano to a one-year contract, making a short-term bet that the right-hander can return to form following a right elbow injury.

With Jeff Hoffman and Carlos Estévez both free agents this offseason, Romano fills a Phillies bullpen need for a high-leverage right-hander.
