In February 2017, it was announced that Romano would play for Team Italy at the 2017 World Baseball Classic.

On December 13, 2018, Romano was taken third overall in the Rule 5 draft by the Chicago White Sox and was immediately traded to the Texas Rangers for cash considerations. On March 24, 2019, he was returned to the Blue Jays.

In 2018, the Blue Jays invited Romano to spring training. He began the season with the New Hampshire Fisher Cats of the Double-A Eastern League. On May 16, Romano pitched six no-hit inning against the Hartford Yard Goats, and became the first pitcher in the minors to reach seven wins.
