Big Sally is back. Surprisingly, the Cincinnati Reds outrighted Sal Romano to Triple-A on Tuesday after the right-hander cleared waivers. Romano was designated for assignment following the signing or reliever Pedro Strop. Romano showed some promise during the 2017 season, but the last two seasons haven’t offered the same results.
It’s strange that the 6’5″ passed through waivers. After all, Romano is capable of touching the upper-90s on the radar gun. Being out of minor-league options, it wasn’t terribly surprising that Romano was cut loose last week, as his spot on the roster seemed precarious at best.
