SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Sergio Romo didn’t think he would be this emotional. It was just catch.But the setting, on the backfield behind Scottsdale Stadium, with at least two dozen fans lined up along the metal fence, and the circumstances, with Romo back in a Giants uniform for the first time since 2016, were too much to overcome.After signing a minor-league deal with the intent to retire with the team he helped win three titles, Romo completed his physical Saturday morning, walked to his locker with a No. 54 jersey hanging in it, then proceeded out the clubhouse doors and down the left-field line, where pitching coaches Andrew Bailey and J.P.

He was soaking it all in, one last time.Romo in action pic.twitter.com/...
