The Philadelphia Phillies added depth at third base by signing Bryan Ramos to a minor league contract, via the MLB transaction log.

The right-handed-hitting infielder, who will turn 25 next March, arrives as a non-roster invitee to spring training as the club begins assembling options for 2027.

Ramos, a native of Havana, Cuba, signed with the Chicago White Sox as an international free agent in 2018.

He climbed through the White Sox system as a well-regarded prospect, earning recognition as one of the organization’s top minor leaguers heading into the 2024 season after productive campaigns at the high-A and Double-A levels.

He made his major league debut with Chicago on May 4, 2024, and appeared in 36 games across the 2024 and 2025 seasons. In 120 plate appearances, he hit .198 with three home runs and 13 RBI.

Those brief stints offered limited opportunity to establish himself, and he spent most of 2025 at Triple-A Charlotte.

After the White Sox designated him for assignment in late January 2026, Ramos moved to the Baltimore Orioles organization.

He spent the entire 2026 season with the Triple-A Norfolk Tides, batting .216/.326/.320 with six home runs in 100 games.

The results continued a stretch of uneven production at the upper levels of the minors, though Ramos remains young and has shown flashes of power and on-base skills earlier in his professional career.

He has primarily played third base but has also logged time at second base, first base, and left field, giving him some positional flexibility.

The signing fits the Phillies’ current needs at the hot corner.

Both Alec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa reached free agency after the 2026 season, and top prospect Aidan Miller missed most of the year with a back injury.

Philadelphia is expected to pursue a more established third baseman in free agency or via trade, but adding a former prospect like Ramos on a minor league deal carries little risk while providing a depth option who could compete for a role in spring training.

Ramos will report to camp with an opportunity to show that a change of scenery can revive the production that once made him a notable name in the White Sox system.

For a player still in his mid-20s, the invitation offers another chance to earn major league time after limited opportunities in Chicago and a full season in the Orioles’ Triple-A ranks.
