When the Philadelphia Phillies made various significant moves this past offseason, their main goal was to find the missing pieces to help complete their roster and to take them to the next level. However, as we take a look at how the 2025 MLB season has panned out for Philadelphia, it now appears that Romano has become the Phillies’ worst failed investment this year. Jordan Romano was by far the Phillies’ worst free agent signing for the 2025 seasonRomano had been one of the best closers in the game during his time with the Toronto Blue Jays. Consequently, the time and money spent by the Phillies to rectify the bullpen situation in light of Romano’s huge implosion season makes him the biggest failed investment in 2025. With Whit Merrifield unanimously the Phillies’ failed investment in 2024, perhaps they should try to avoid former Blue Jays players in the future, just to be safe.
