Scouting report
It's fair to say the Rays lost the Alex Colomé trade as Colomé eventually went on to be a pillar of the White Sox 'pen last year, and the return for him (and Denard Span) was Andrew Moore and Tommy Romero. Romero has always been a spin axis freak, sort of like Oliver Drake in that his ball actually spins to the left of the 12:00 axis even though he throws right-handed. This creates big vertical movement on his fastball, but Romero never threw hard enough for me to rank him (he was 86-90 in 2019). Then he showed up to instructs sitting 92-94, and at that velocity I think it might work in short stints, in a role similar to the one Josh Collementer played for a while. (Fall Instructional League).
