Juan Carlos Romero (born June 6, 1976 in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico) is a Major League Baseball left-handed specialist with the Boston Red Sox. He most has played for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2006) and the Minnesota Twins (1999-2005). Now with the Red Sox, he is expected to continue to come out of the bullpen in middle relief or setup situations.
Romero played college baseball at the University of Mobile.
He previously played for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, having been traded by the Minnesota Twins on December 9, 2005, for infielder Alexi Casilla.
J.C. Romero was one of the Puerto Rican players to agree to play for Puerto Rico in the 2006 MLB World Baseball Classic, joining catchers Ivan Rodriguez and Sandy Alomar, Jr., first baseman Carlos Delgado, second baseman Jose Vidro, third baseman Mike Lowell, outfielders Bernie Williams, Carlos Beltran and Jose Cruz, Jr. and pitchers Javier Vazquez, Joel Pineiro and Kiko Calero, amongst others representing Puerto Rico in a team managed by Saint Louis Cardinals third base coach Jose Oquendo.
On October 6, 2006, the Angels declined his contract option for 2007, making him a free agent. On December 15, he signed a 1-year deal with the Boston Red Sox. [1]
