The Orioles claimed Romo off waivers from the Rockies on Friday.

It wasn't that long ago that Romo looked like the Rockies' catcher of the future, but his progress stalled and Hunter Goodman emerged, leading Colorado to expose him to waivers. Romo is 9-for-54 at the plate during his brief time in the majors and slashed only .264/.329/.409 across 60 games in 2025 while playing his home games at hitter-friendly Triple-A Albuquerque. The Orioles already have Adley Rutschman and Samuel Basallo at the big-league level, so Romo will likely begin 2026 at Triple-A Norfolk, unless the club elects to carry three catchers.

The Astros signed Perez to a minor-league contract Nov. 28.

Perez spent all of the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Iowa in the Cubs organization, putting up a .944 OPS with 27 long balls. The 35-year-old last saw action at the big-league level in 2023 and will provide the Astros with experienced catching depth at Triple-A Sugar Land.

The Angels re-signed Campero to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

The Halos non-tendered Campero earlier this month but have now brought him back on a minor-league pact. Campero posted a .618 OPS over 66 plate appearances in the majors in 2025 and offers the ability to handle all three outfield spots. He'll likely begin next season at Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Tigers and Rogers avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.05 million contract Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Rogers was leap-frogged by Dillon Dingler in the Tigers' catcher pecking order in 2025, but the team still values the former enough to retain him as Dingler's backup. A career .200/.270/.386 hitter over parts of five seasons, Rogers had been eligible for salary arbitration for the final time.

The Twins acquired Jackson from the Orioles on Friday in exchange for Payton Eeles, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Jackson was on the non-tender bubble for the Orioles, so instead of cutting him loose, Baltimore was able to get a prospect for him. The 29-year-old catcher is a career .153/.239/.288 hitter over parts of six big-league seasons. Jackson could open next season as the Twins' backup behind Ryan Jeffers.

The Red Sox and Wong (hand) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year contract Thursday.

Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com says the deal is worth $1.375 million, with an additional $75,000 possible in performance bonuses. It was a disastrous 2025 season for the 29-year-old Wong, as he lost his starting job to Carlos Narvaez and finished with a .500 OPS and zero home runs over 63 regular-season contests. Wong -- who is expected to be recovered from October right hand surgery by spring training -- will be Narvaez's backup at catcher again in 2026.

The White Sox traded Hernandez to the Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for Chris Murphy, Chris Henrique of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Hernandez spent the entire 2025 season with the White Sox's Single-A affiliate, slashing .251/.344/.336 over 355 plate appearances. He could receive a bump up to High-A upon joining the Red Sox's farm system, but the 21-year-old backstop doesn't appear to be on the verge of making his MLB debut anytime soon.

The Tigers selected Liranzo's contract from Double-A Erie on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

With that, Liranzo is now ineligible to be selected in next month's Rule 5 Draft. Liranzo endured a harsh dose of reality in his first go at the Double-A level in 2025, as he limped to a .206/.308/.351 slash line in 88 games. However, the Tigers clearly still believe that he will contribute eventually between catcher, first base and DH.

Wynns (abdomen) signed a one-year contract worth $1.1 million with the A's on Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Wynns was traded to the A's in early June, and he had a solid year in a reserve role by maintaining an .865 OPS across 110 plate appearances prior to suffering an abdominal strain. He's also a solid defender, so he should be a suitable No. 2 backstop behind Shea Langeliers in 2026.

The Blue Jays selected Valenzuela's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

Valenzuela is now protected from next month's Rule 5 Draft. Acquired at the trade deadline from the Padres in exchange for Will Wagner, Valenzuela slashed .224/.309/.383 with 15 home runs over 113 games between the Double- and Triple-A levels in 2025. The 25-year-old will likely begin the 2026 campaign back at Buffalo.
