Nationals signed LHP J.C. Romero to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Romero looked pretty good while pitching for his native Puerto Rico in the WBC, allowing two runs in 4 2/3 innings with five strikeouts. He walked three, though, as control has always been an issue for the southpaw. Romero could make the club as the second lefty alongside Zach Duke.

J.C. Romero has elected free agency.

Romero was designated for assignment last Friday and has decided to look for another job rather than go to Triple-A Norfolk. The veteran lefty holds a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in 16 big league appearances this season.

Orioles designated LHP J.C. Romero for assignment.

So continues a season of releases and DFAs for the 36-year-old lefty, who says he's considering retirement. Romero hasn't really been a serviceable pitcher since 2008, posting a 4.30 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 90 innings since 2009. His career may be over even if he doesn't retire.

Orioles acquired LHP J.C. Romero from the Indians for INF Carlos Rojas.

He'll take Miguel Socolovich's spot on the active roster. Romero gave up nine runs on 14 hits and two walks in eight innings in 11 appearances with the Cardinals earlier this season, but has held left-handed batters to a .218 batting average and .617 OPS for his career. The O's will hope to catch lightning in a bottle down the stretch.

Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports that the Orioles have acquired left-hander J.C. Romero.

Kubatko notes that Romero opted out of his contract with the Indians, so it appears he signed as a free agent. The 36-year-old southpaw made 11 appearances with the Cardinals earlier this season and posted a 4.01 ERA in 36 appearances between the Phillies and Rockies last year. It's not clear if he'll immediately join the major league roster.
