Ramos was named for assignment three days ago when the Sox needed to create a 40-man cap space for the newly signed Seranthony Dominguez. Ramos’ stint in DFA limbo didn’t last long, and he will now be changing organizations for the first time in his career, as the infielder was an international signing for the White Sox in 2018. He started making waves as a prospect during the 2022-2023 seasons, and he made his MLB debut in 2024, posting a .586 OPS over 108 plate appearances for Chicago.
This uninspiring performance seemed to sink Ramos into the depths, even on a rebuilding White Sox team. He played in just four big league games in 2025, bringing his total slash line to .198/.244/.333 in 120 PA against major league pitching. While Ramos’ numbers (.235/.321/.404 in 705 PA) are more respectable at Triple-A Charlotte, they are disappointing considering that Charlotte plays in one of the most hitter-friendly ballparks in the minors.
Ramos has only played third base in the Majors, and hot corner was also his primary position during his minor league career. However, Ramos has increased his versatility by playing some second base and a handful of games at first baseman and left fielder, as Ramos becomes more of a utility man, will help in his efforts to return to the majors.
Wilson is a more established utility man who has spent time at first base, second base, third base and all three outfield positions during his 100 career Major League games, all with the Phillies from 2023-25. Wilson has also shown more at the plate, hitting .242/.328/.428 and nine home runs over 245 PA. Most of that production came in Wilson’s first two seasons, and since he had just a .652 OPS over 125 PA in 2025, the Phils decided to move on by DFA’ing Wilson in late January.
The Orioles filed a claim a few days later, but have now returned Wilson to the waiver wire in a relatively short period of time. This is part of the way of life for players like Wilson or Ramos who are out of minor league options, and Baltimore has been particularly aggressive in continually adding to the back end of its 40-man roster, with the idea that the O’s can add minor league depth by putting enough players through the outright process. Assuming Wilson isn’t reclaimed, the Orioles could send him straight to Triple-A, as Wilson doesn’t have enough service time to turn down an outright assignment.
