Detroit Tigers eye JoJo Romero as bullpen solution for 2027 season

Summary

The Detroit Tigers are considering signing left-handed reliever JoJo Romero as a potential fix for their bullpen woes ahead of the 2027 season. Romero is currently with the Milwaukee Brewers and has a strong postseason performance, including a 1.69 ERA in the playoffs. The Tigers struggled with their bullpen in 2026, finishing with 32 blown saves and a need for reliable late-inning options. Romero's experience and projected contract, estimated at about four years and $26.7 million, could fit within Detroit's financial strategy. His postseason success could also drive up his market value ahead of free agency.
