The Giants signed former Blue Jays pitcher <span data-shortcode= " data-canon="Toronto Blue Jays" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" id="shortcode0"> to a minor-league contract Monday, with Romero reporting to extended spring training, per CBS Sports' Jon Heyman. 

Romero has not pitched in the majors since 2013 as he has dealt with both injury and ineffectiveness. The lefty made the All-Star game in 2010, but has not pitched well since then, including during nine minor league starts in 2014, while undergoing surgery on both knees.

The Blue Jays released Romero on April 25.
