The Mets announced a pair of roster moves on Wednesday afternoon, claiming catcher Drew Romo off waivers from Baltimore and designating left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell for assignment.
Romo, 24, is a former first-round pick of the Colorado Rockies in the 2020 MLB Draft. He was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on December 5 but was DFA’d just five days later.

Romo has spent the majority of his pro career in the minors, though he played 16 games with 2024 and three games in 2025. He has a career .760 OPS as a minor leaguer, hitting 45 home runs and driving in 240 runs over the course of 426 games.
Waddell, 31, was a depth piece for the Mets last season, appearing in 11 big league games, including one start, while pitching to a 3.45 ERA. He allowed 29 hits and struck out 22 hitters over 31.1 innings of work.
