From the Strib:
Saying he felt "disrespected'' during his last few seasons with the Minnesota Twins, Romero wanted to be traded. The Twins accommodated him on Friday, dealing the left-handed reliever to the Los Angeles Angels for minor league infielder Alexi Casilla. . . .
The 29-year-old Romero was 4-3 with a 3.47 ERA and had 48 strikeouts in 57 innings last season, but clashed with manager Ron Gardenhire and struggled to keep inherited runners from scoring.
Dominant at times earlier in his career but inconsistent since then, Romero has been the subject of trade rumors for the much of two seasons. He was drafted in 1997 and had his best season in 2002, when he went 9-2 with a 1.89 ERA in 81 appearances to help the Twins reach the AL championship series, where they were eliminated by the Angels
