Orioles Trade for Bryan Ramos, Release Weston Wilson
The Baltimore Orioles have made a significant roster move by acquiring infielder Bryan Ramos from the Chicago White Sox. According to reporter Francys Romero, the team confirmed the trade is in exchange for cash considerations.
Trade Details: Bryan Ramos to the Orioles
This trade comes shortly after the White Sox designated Ramos for assignment. They needed to create a space on their 40-man roster for newly signed player Seranthony Dominguez. In order to accommodate Ramos, the Orioles designated Weston Wilson for assignment.
Background on Bryan Ramos
Ramos originally signed with the White Sox in 2018 as an international free agent. He began to make a name for himself in the minor leagues during the 2022-23 seasons. In 2024, he made his Major League debut, where he recorded a .586 OPS over 108 plate appearances.
Despite potential, Ramos struggled to secure a consistent spot on the roster, only appearing in four major league games in 2025. His overall slash line stands at .198/.244/.333 over 120 plate appearances in the majors. However, he has had better success at Triple-A Charlotte, where he posted a .235/.321/.404 line across 705 plate appearances. His performance there has been somewhat subdued given the hitter-friendly environment of the ballpark.
Position Versatility
- Primary Position: Third Base
- Additional Positions: Second Base, First Base, Left Field
Ramos’ ability to play multiple positions will enhance his chances of returning to the major leagues, as he aims to become a more versatile utility player.
Weston Wilson’s Departure
Weston Wilson, who previously played extensively as a utilityman, will also be on the move. Over his career, he has seen action at first base, second base, third base, and all three outfield positions in 100 Major League games for the Philadelphia Phillies from 2023 to 2025.
Wilson is known for his batting prowess, posting a .242/.328/.428 slash line with nine home runs across 245 plate appearances. However, after struggling with a .652 OPS in 2025, the Phillies designated him for assignment in late January. The Orioles claimed him shortly after but decided to pass him through waivers again within a brief period.
The Future for Both Players
Should Wilson go unclaimed again, he can be outrighted to Triple-A, as his service time does not allow him to refuse an outright assignment. The Orioles are active in refining their 40-man roster, aiming to add depth through smart acquisitions and strategic player movement.
This trade marks a new chapter for both Bryan Ramos and Weston Wilson, showcasing the ever-changing dynamics within Major League Baseball.
