The Blue Jays left Jordan Romano unprotected in the Rule 5 draft and the pitcher was subsequently plucked by the Chicago White Sox third overall and then promptly traded to the Texas Rangers.
By no means I am suggesting that Romano was projected to a front of the rotation hurler, however, he does have the makings to be a serviceable MLB arm. Last season, Romano went 12-8 with a 4.11 earned run average 26 starts (25 with New Hampshire and 1 with Buffalo).
The Blue Jays then obtained Clayton Richard from the San Diego Padres in exchange for Canadian minor leaguer Connor Panas.
