Romero (personal) was released by the Giants on May 9.

EDGE Analysis

Romero was signed to a minor-league contract in January but remained away from the team due to personal reasons before ultimately being issued his release. His last appearance in the big leagues dates back to the 2018 campaign, making stops in Kansas City, Pittsburgh and Washington.

Romero is away from the Giants due to personal reasons, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romero was a non-roster invitee to spring training, but he hasn't made an appearance since March 9. The 34-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in the big leagues since the 2018 campaign, during which he posted a 12.60 ERA, 2.90 WHIP and 10 strikeouts across 10 innings with three different teams. Romero is competing for a spot in the bullpen, though he appears to be a long shot to make the Giants' Opening Day roster.

The Giants signed Romero to a minor-league contract Jan. 11.

EDGE Analysis

Romero, 34, has spent the last several years bouncing around between Japan and the Dominican Winter League. The lefty has not pitched in the big leagues since 2018 and is a long shot to make an appearance for the Giants in 2025.

Romero signed a contract Monday with the SSG Landers of the Korea Baseball Organization.

EDGE Analysis

Romero is guaranteed $800,000 and can make it an even $1 million if he reaches his incentives. The left-hander hasn't seen any action in the majors since 2018 and has spent three of the last four years pitching in Japan.

Romero was sent to minor-league camp by the Dodgers on Sunday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romero was in camp with Los Angeles as a non-roster invitee. He last pitched in the majors in 2018, when he posted a 12.60 ERA and 2.90 WHIP across 10 innings with three different teams.

Romero has been invited to the Dodgers' big-league camp, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romero signed a minor-league deal with the Dodgers this offseason after pitching internationally for the past two campaigns. Prior to going abroad, he had limited success as a reliever in five seasons at the big-league level, racking up a 5.12 ERA with 156 strikeouts across 146 innings. While the Dodgers have a fairly full bullpen depth chart, Romero will hope to latch on as a depth option and make the team out of spring training.

Romero signed a one-year, $440,000 contract to play for the Chunichi Dragons, the Japan Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romero pitched for three different MLB teams last season (KC, PIT, WAS) making eight appearances with a 12.60 ERA, but didn't find work after he was released by his third team in July. At age 28 net season, he could still make his way back to MLB with some success in Japan.

Romero elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Royals last weekend.

EDGE Analysis

Since Romero was not claimed off waivers, he will be able to latch on with a team of his choosing following this move. Across eight big-league outings this year, he's struggled to the tune of a 12.60 ERA with 10 strikeouts in 10 innings of relief split between Kansas City, Pittsburgh and Washington.

Romero was designated for assignment by the Royals on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Romero was claimed off waivers by the Royals in early July after being designated for assignment by the Pirates, and allowed nine runs -- including three home runs -- across only four innings of work with the Royals. The 27-year-old has a 12.60 ERA and 2.90 WHIP over 10 innings between stints with the Royals, Pirates and Nationals this season.

Romero was claimed off waivers by the Royals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The former Pittsburgh Pirate didn't have to wait long to find a new team after being DFA'd on Tuesday. Romero, who was effective in 2017 with a 3.56 ERA, struggled to secure a role on both the Nationals and Pirates this season with just four total appearances. The Royals' dearth of reliable bullpen options should allow Romero to step into a regular middle relief role, however.
