1 month agoToronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano has withdrawn from Team Italy for the upcoming 2023 World Baseball Classic. It's good news for those that plan to invest in Romano as a top-10 fantasy closer this year. The 29-year-old right-hander has emerged as one of the better closers in baseball on one of the best rising teams in the sport. He was a first-time All-Star in 2022, when he had a sharp 2.11 ERA (2.82 FIP), 1.02 WHIP, career-high 36 saves, 21 walks and 73 strikeouts in 64 relief innings. Romano has 59 saves in the last two years for Toronto and will enter the 2023 season as the Jays' unquestioned closer. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 6 fantasy closer behind Ryan Pressly.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
