The Philadelphia Phillies have added a 24‑year‑old Cuban infielder to their organization, signing Bryan Ramos to a minor‑league deal that includes an invitation to spring training. The move was confirmed by Beisbol FR’s Francys Romero on X, who noted that Ramos “has signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, with an invitation to MLB Spring Training.”
Ramos, who hails from La Habana, first entered the majors with the Chicago White Sox in 2024. He appeared in 32 games that season, posting a slash line of .198/.244/.333 with three homers, six doubles and 13 RBIs. After a brief stint in 2025—just four games—he was designated for assignment by Chicago in January and subsequently traded to the Baltimore Orioles. Baltimore placed him on waivers, and the St. Louis Cardinals claimed him, only for the Orioles to re‑acquire him after he cleared waivers. Ramos spent the 2026 season with the Orioles’ Triple‑A affiliate in Norfolk, where he posted a .216/.326/.320 line with six homers and 27 RBIs over 100 games.
The Phillies’ signing comes amid a series of MLB general‑manager meetings, and while Ramos is unlikely to crack the club’s Opening Day roster, he will be available for minor‑league play should the looming lockout extend into the regular season, as he is not on the 40‑man roster. The organization will evaluate him during spring training, where he has the opportunity to compete for a spot in the Phillies’ infield depth chart.
