Dusty Baker shared an anecdote earlier this Spring about how Washington Nationals’ reliever Enny Romero was a target for the Nats as far back as 2014.
“I heard he was a guy that we had coveted before we got [Felipe] Rivero,” Baker told reporters, referring to the February 2014 deal with Tampa Bay that sent right-handed starter Nate Karns to the Rays in exchange for Rivero, Jose Lobaton and minor league outfielder Drew Vettleson.
[The Rays] wouldn’t give us Romero, I heard,” Baker continued.
