The Mets have claimed catcher Drew Romo off waivers from the Orioles, designating left-hander Brandon Waddell for assignment in the process. Romo, a former Rockies prospect, is known for his defensive skills but has struggled offensively, hitting .167 in limited MLB appearances. Waddell, who had a solid ERA for the Mets in 2025 but poor strikeout rates, is out of minor league options and will be placed on waivers soon. Romo provides the Mets with depth behind the plate as they prepare for the 2026 season.
