The Orioles have acquired infielder Bryan Ramos<\/a> from the White Sox, according to reporter Francys Romero<\/a>.\u00a0 Baltimore has officially announced the trade, and the Sox will get cash considerations in return.\u00a0 To open up a 40-man spot for Ramos, the Orioles designated Weston Wilson<\/a> for assignment.<\/p>\n

Ramos was designated for assignment three days ago when the Sox themselves needed to create 40-man space for the newly-signed Seranthony Dominguez<\/a>.\u00a0 Ramos\u2019 stint in DFA limbo didn\u2019t last long, and he\u2019ll now change organizations for the first time in his career, as the infielder was an international signing for the White Sox back in 2018.\u00a0 He started to make waves as a prospect during the 2022-23 seasons, and he made his MLB debut in 2024, posting a .586 OPS over 108 plate appearances for Chicago.<\/p>\n

This uninspiring performance seemed to drop Ramos down the depth chart, even on a rebuilding White Sox team.\u00a0 He appeared in just four big league games in 2025, bringing his overall slash line to .198\/.244\/.333 in 120 PA against Major League pitching.\u00a0 While Ramos\u2019 numbers (.235\/.321\/.404 in 705 PA) at Triple-A Charlotte are more respectable, they\u2019re underwhelming considering that Charlotte plays in one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in the minors.<\/p>\n

Ramos has played only third base in the majors, and the hot corner has also been his primary position during his minor league career.\u00a0 However, Ramos has increased his versatility by playing some second base and a handful of games as a first baseman and left fielder, as becoming more of a utilityman will help Ramos in his attempts to return to the majors.<\/p>\n

Wilson is a more established utilityman who has seen some time at first base, second base, third base, and all three outfield positions over his 100 career Major League games, all with the Phillies from 2023-25.\u00a0 Wilson has also shown more at the plate, with a .242\/.328\/.428 and nine homers over 245 PA.\u00a0 Most of that production came in Wilson\u2019s first two seasons, and since he had only a .652 OPS over 125 PA in 2025, the Phils decided to move on by DFA\u2019ing Wilson in late January.<\/p>\n

The Orioles made a claim a few days later, but have now sent Wilson back to the waiver wire in relatively short order.\u00a0 This is something of the way of life for players like Wilson or Ramos who are out of minor league options, and Baltimore is particularly aggressive in constantly churning the back end of its 40-man roster, with the idea that the O\u2019s can add minor league depth by sneaking enough players through the outright process.\u00a0 Assuming Wilson isn\u2019t claimed again, the Orioles can outright him to Triple-A since Wilson doesn\u2019t have enough service time to reject an outright assignment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Orioles have acquired infielder Bryan Ramos from the White Sox, according to reporter Francys Romero.\u00a0 Baltimore has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[99765,363,99,20493],"class_list":{"0":"post-444009","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-bryan-ramos","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-weston-wilson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
