Orioles Acquire Catcher Bryan Ramos, Designate Weston Wilson

This article digs into the Baltimore Orioles’ recent pickup of infielder Bryan Ramos from the Chicago White Sox for cash considerations. The move involved designating Weston Wilson for assignment.

Let’s look at what this means for both players and how it shapes the Orioles’ roster plans. We’ll break down their past numbers and what roles they might play going forward.

Orioles Bolster Infield Depth with Bryan Ramos

The Orioles just added infielder Bryan Ramos from the White Sox, aiming to strengthen their depth chart. Francys Romero reported the deal, which cost Baltimore only cash but brought in a young, versatile player.

Ramos’ Journey to Baltimore: A Prospect with Untapped Potential

Ramos hasn’t had a straightforward road. He signed with the White Sox internationally back in 2018 and started getting noticed during the 2022-23 seasons.

He finally made his MLB debut in 2024 and flashed some promise, even if it was just a glimpse.

• His major league stats haven’t wowed anyone yet—he’s hit .198/.244/.333 over 120 plate appearances through 2025. Then again, that’s not a huge sample, and jumping to the bigs is no joke.
• His Triple-A numbers look a bit brighter: .235/.321/.404 in 705 plate appearances. Some would say those stats might be a touch high thanks to a hitter-friendly Triple-A park.
• What stands out most is his defensive flexibility. Ramos has mostly handled third base in the majors but has also spent time at second, first, and even left field. That kind of versatility is a big plus for a contender like the Orioles.

The Roster Ripple Effect: Weston Wilson Designated for Assignment

To make room for Ramos on the 40-man roster, the Orioles designated Weston Wilson for assignment. It’s another example of the constant shuffling teams do at the edge of their roster, always looking for an edge.

Examining Weston Wilson’s Contributions and Future

Wilson’s a more seasoned utility guy, having played all over the infield and outfield with the Phillies from 2023-25. His numbers show he can help a club, but his 2025 stats took a hit.

• In 100 big-league games and 245 plate appearances, Wilson owns a .242/.328/.428 slash line with nine homers.
• But in 2025, his OPS dipped to .652 over 125 plate appearances. That probably didn’t help his case with the Orioles.
• If no other team claims Wilson, he could be outrighted to Triple-A since he doesn’t have the service time to refuse. That might keep him in the Orioles’ system, where he could still provide some much-needed depth.

Orioles’ Strategic Roster Management: A Glimpse into the Future

This move shows the Orioles’ ongoing push for smart roster moves and fresh talent. They’ve picked up Bryan Ramos, a versatile but still untested infielder, for cash considerations.

It’s a bit of a gamble, but it’s clear they’re betting on his potential. At the same time, they’re keeping Weston Wilson around to make sure there’s enough depth in the organization.

The Orioles keep taking a careful, almost chess-like approach to building a team that can last. They’re always tweaking the roster, trying to stay competitive in a division that doesn’t exactly make life easy.

Honestly, it’ll be interesting to see if Bryan Ramos can make a splash. And you never know—maybe Weston Wilson’s story takes a turn as the Orioles keep working the waiver wire.
