Fantasy Impact: Romo appeared in 19 games for the Rockies between 2024 and 2025 and struggled to a .167 average in 56 plate appearances. Romo is a career .277 hitter in five minor league seasons and has thrown out 26% of attempted base stealers. With youngsters Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero on the big league roster, it appears that Romo will provide organizational depth at catcher in Triple-A Charlotte.

The Mets signed RHP Mike Baumann to a minor league contact.

Fantasy Impact: Baumann spent time in a depth role with the Orioles. He'll compete for a depth role in the Mets bullpen.
