The Philadelphia Phillies have already begun making changes to their personnel following another disappointing postseason exit.

President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has multiple areas to address, including an offense that struggled to produce consistently down the stretch and an infield that could look considerably different next season.

Along with superstar slugger Bryce Harper returning to first base and Trea Turner fighting to retain the shortstop role, Luis Arraez, Edmundo Sosa and Alec Bohm are all likely to leave the team in free agency. In the meantime, the Phillies have already brought in a new third baseman to compete for a new role.

Philadelphia Phillies Add Bryan Ramos After Alec Bohm Yankees Rumors

“Cuban infielder Bryan Ramos has signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, with an invitation to MLB Spring Training,” international MLB reporter Francys Romero posted on Wednesday.

Ramos arrives in Philadelphia with some previous prospect pedigree, although his recent production suggests he will have to earn another opportunity in the majors. The 24-year-old spent the 2026 campaign with the Baltimore Orioles’ Triple-A Norfolk affiliate after previously appearing in the majors with the Chicago White Sox.

He hit .216 with a .326 on-base percentage, a .320 slugging percentage and six home runs across 100 games at Triple-A Norfolk in 2026. He also appeared in 36 major league games with Chicago during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

“The Phils will hope that Ramos’ former pedigree and youth can still lead to production in a new setting,” Steve Adams wrote for MLB Trade Rumors. “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.”

And the need at third base is particularly stark, as a new report indicates that Bohm is receiving interest from a new team, further decreasing the very slim odds that he was going to return.

Philadelphia Phillies’ Free Agent Alec Bohm Linked To New York Yankees Before Infield Acquisition

On Wednesday, just before news that the Phillies had acquired Ramos broke, a prominent New York Yankees reporter indicated that the Bronx Bombers have their eye on Bohm.

“The Yankees are showing interest in longtime Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm, a free agent,” according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. “The Yankees have prioritized the infield after third baseman Ryan McMahon struggled so badly at the plate last year and also prefer a right-handed bat, so Bohm is a potential fit.”

For Philadelphia, the increasing likelihood of losing Bohm makes additional third-base depth worth pursuing.

Ramos’ minor league agreement and spring training invitation do not guarantee him a spot on Philadelphia’s Opening Day roster. Still, the signing gives the Phillies another young infielder to evaluate as they navigate an offseason that could include significant changes at third base.
