Phillies, Bryan Ramos Agree To Minor League Deal

The Phillies and free agent infielder Bryan Ramos have agreed to a minor league contract, reports Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com. The ISE Baseball client will be in camp as a non-roster invitee ahead of the 2027 season. Ramos, 25 in March, is a former top prospect in the White Sox system who spent the 2026 season with the Orioles organization. He didn’t see the majors, instead suiting up for the Triple-A club in Norfolk all season. The righty-swinging third baseman batted .216/.326/.320 in 100 games and 370 trips to the plate. That marks three straight seasons with sub-par results at the plate in the upper minors and, more briefly, in occasional big league work. Ramos saw major league time with the 2024-25 ChiSox but totaled only 120 plate appearances. He hit .198/.244/.333 with three homers in that small sample. While Ramos hasn’t been particularly productive in recent years, he posted big minor league numbers up through the 2023 season. He hit .264/.358/.450 between High-A and Double-A that season but hasn’t produced even average minor league numbers since. Back in the 2023-24 offseason, Baseball America ranked him fourth among White Sox farmhands, calling him a near-MLB-ready option at the hot corner. Even when he struggled through a middling 2024 campaign, Ramos sat 15th among Sox prospects ahead of the 2025 season. The Phils will hope that Ramos’ former pedigree and youth can still lead to production in a new setting. That didn’t happen in Baltimore, but Ramos is still just 24. There’s no risk in bringing a formerly well regarded prospect aboard — particularly at a position of need. The Phillies saw both Alec Bohm and Edmundo Sosa reach free agency at season’s end, and top prospect Aiden Miller missed most of the season due to a back injury. There’s no clear frontrunner for third base work in Philadelphia, and while they’re all but certain to bring in a more established option, it’s sensible to bring in depth options that still have a tinge of upside while they work toward the acquisition of a more proven option.
