The Cubs have signed right-hander Tommy Romero to a minor league deal after his previous stints with the Rays and Nationals resulted in poor performance at the major league level. Despite a rough 2022 debut, Romero showed improvement in the minors, posting a 3.14 ERA with the Giants’ Sacramento affiliate in 2023, though he struggled briefly in the Mexican League. With injuries affecting the Cubs’ rotation and vacancies in their Triple-A rotation, Romero could find an opportunity to contribute, although he may face competition from other depth options.
