Mets Claim Catcher Drew Rom Off Waivers from Baltimore Orioles

The Mets have claimed catcher Drew Rom off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. Rom, 24, was a former first-round pick by the Colorado Rockies in the 2020 MLB Draft. He was previously claimed by the Orioles on December 5 but was designated for assignment just five days later. Rom has primarily played in the minors, appearing in 16 big-league games in 2024 and three in 2025, with a career .760 OPS, 45 home runs, and 240 RBI over 426 minor league games.
