San Francisco Giants closer Sergio Romo is off to a hot start, but he will have to wait until the offseason to cash in with a new contract. Romo and the Giants have agreed to table contract talks during the season, reports CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.
Romo, who was an All-Star in 2013, is sporting a 1.88 ERA and 10 saves in his first 14.1 innings this season. His strikeout rate is down from his career pace, but he's still striking out 7.53 batters per nine innings.
