Romo cleared waivers Friday and has been outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte while receiving a non-roster invite to spring training, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Romo was designated for assignment Sunday, and after clearing waivers, he'll remain within the organization. The 24-year-old catcher will join the White Sox at spring training as a non-roster invitee. Romo spent most of the 2025 season with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque, where he slashed .264/329/.409 with seven homers, 23 RBI, 28 runs scored and two stolen bases across 244 plate appearances.

The White Sox designated Romo for assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old catcher was claimed off waivers by Chicago in early January and will now go through the waiver process once again. Romo has also spent time on the rosters of the Rockies, Orioles and Mets this offseason. He spent most of 2025 at the Triple-A level and had a .738 OPS in 244 plate appearances.

The White Sox claimed Romo off waivers from the Mets on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday marks the third time that Romo has switched teams this offseason after previously being claimed by the Orioles and Mets following his departure from Colorado. With fellow backstops Kyle Teel, Edgar Quero and Korey Lee already on the White Sox's 40-man roster, Romo is likely destined to begin 2026 at Triple-A Charlotte.

The Mets claimed Romo off waivers from the Orioles on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Romo has bounced around from the Rockies to the Orioles and now the Mets this month. The switch-hitting catcher is just 9-for-54 at the plate during his brief time in the majors. With Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens slated to open 2026 as the Mets' catching duo, Romo is likely to begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Syracuse.

The Orioles designated Romo for assignment Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for Josh Walker, who was claimed off waivers. Romo was a waiver claim himself just last week, and he'll now go through the waivers process again. The switch-hitting catcher is 9-for-54 at the plate during his brief time in the majors.

The Orioles claimed Romo off waivers from the Rockies on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't that long ago that Romo looked like the Rockies' catcher of the future, but his progress stalled and Hunter Goodman emerged, leading Colorado to expose him to waivers. Romo is 9-for-54 at the plate during his brief time in the majors and slashed only .264/.329/.409 across 60 games in 2025 while playing his home games at hitter-friendly Triple-A Albuquerque. The Orioles already have Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo at the big-league level, so Romo will likely begin 2026 at Triple-A Norfolk, unless the club elects to carry three catchers.

The Rockies optioned Romo to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Romo went 0-for-3 at the plate while serving as the Rockies' third catcher, and the return of Warming Bernabel (concussion) from the IL will now push the former back to the minor leagues. The 24-year-old backstop has slashed .264/.329/.409 across 244 plate appearances at Albuquerque and will most likely remain there for the rest of the year.

The Rockies recalled Romo from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Romo will hit the big leagues for the first time in 2025 after slashing .264/.329/.409 with seven home runs over 60 games at Albuquerque. He will serve as the Rockies' third catcher during the final month of the season.

Triple-A Albuquerque reinstated Romo (finger) from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Romo didn't play Tuesday in Albuquerque's 7-6 loss to Reno, but the 23-year-old backstop is healthy again after a finger injury sidelined him for the first seven weeks of the season. He was cleared to report to Albuquerque after going 3-for-16 with a walk, a stolen base, two runs and an RBI over five rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Romo is not on the Triple-A Albuquerque roster to begin the season as he is being evaluated for a finger injury, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Romo entered spring training projected to make the Opening Day roster, though Hunter Goodman performed extremely well to claim the backup catcher job. The severity of the issue is unclear, but Romo should make an appearance in the majors at some point in 2025, assuming he isn't sidelined for a lengthy period.
