On March 1, 2011 Romero signed a minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Romero was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies on May 25, 2011, for cash considerations.[1] On July 16, 2011, Romero signed a minor league contract with the New York Mets and was assigned to the Double-A Binghamton Mets.[2]
