Orioles Trade for Bryan Ramos, Release Weston Wilson
The Baltimore Orioles have made a notable move by acquiring infielder Bryan Ramos from the Chicago White Sox. The trade was confirmed by the team and reported by Francys Romero. In this deal, the White Sox will receive cash considerations in return for Ramos. To accommodate him on the 40-man roster, the Orioles designated Weston Wilson for assignment.
Trade Details and Player Profiles
This transaction marks an important change for Ramos, who was designated for assignment just three days prior. The White Sox needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster to accommodate the newly signed Seranthony Dominguez. This trade will be the first organizational shift for Ramos since he became an international signing with the White Sox in 2018.
Performance Overview of Bryan Ramos
Ramos’ career in Major League Baseball began in 2024, where he appeared in 108 plate appearances, achieving a .586 OPS. However, his performance underwhelmed, leading to limited opportunities. In 2025, he only played in four big league games, dropping his overall slash line to .198/.244/.333 across 120 plate appearances.
In contrast, his statistics at Triple-A Charlotte show improved numbers: .235/.321/.404 in 705 plate appearances. However, these figures are less impressive considering the favorable hitting conditions at Charlotte’s home park. Throughout his professional career, Ramos has primarily played third base but has expanded his versatility by taking roles at second base, first base, and left field.
Weston Wilson’s Background
Weston Wilson, who has been with the Orioles, offers a different skill set. Over 100 Major League games, all played with the Philadelphia Phillies from 2023 to 2025, Wilson showcased his utility abilities across multiple positions. He has experience in first, second, and third base, as well as all three outfield spots.
Wilson has a more established hitting record, posting a .242/.328/.428 line with nine home runs over 245 plate appearances. However, his performance dipped in 2025, where he recorded only a .652 OPS across 125 plate appearances. Consequently, the Phillies designated him for assignment at the end of January, leading to his brief time with the Orioles. Now, Wilson faces the possibility of being outrighted to Triple-A if he goes unclaimed.
Conclusion
The Orioles are known for their aggressive roster management. This approach allows them to continually refresh their minor league depth while navigating the complexities of player assignments. Both Bryan Ramos and Weston Wilson illustrate the challenges and opportunities faced by players trying to secure their place in the major leagues.
