Athletics' Miguel Romero: Joins 40-man roster

Romero was added to Oakland's 40-man roster Friday.

The move protects the 26-year-old righty from the Rule 5 draft. Romero spent all of 2019 at the Triple-A level, recording a solid 3.96 ERA in 72.2 innings for Las Vegas, but he remained at Oakland's alternate training site throughout the 2020 campaign.
