The move reinforces the back end of the team\u2019s bullpen, bringing in an established veteran for high-leverage relief innings. In a related roster move, the team designated infielder Bryan Ramos for assignment to make room for Dom\u00ednguez on the 40-man roster.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/White-Sox-news-Chicago-makes-eye-opening-move-for-2025-amid-historically-bad-season.jpg\" alt=\"White Sox make eye-opening move for 2025 amid historically bad season\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now 23 years old, Ramos had been in the White Sox organization since 2018 when he signed for $300,000 as an international free agent from Cuba. He worked his way through the minors, putting together strong seasons in the farm system in the lower minors. His best run was when he hit 14 home runs and recorded an .826 OPS in 77 games for the Double-A Birmingham Barons in 2023. He has 36 games of MLB experience to his name, slashing .198\/.244\/.333 in 111 plate appearances.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ramos-rise-and-fall\">Ramos\u2019 Rise and Fall<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/card_img\/2017390955633016832\/CnavmmLd?format=jpg&amp;name=orig\" alt=\"One of the #WhiteSox latest roster moves show how far they have come.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t long ago that Ramos was one of the premier talents in the White Sox farm system. He was the #3 prospect in the organization as recently as 2023 per MLB.com and looked to be a significant part of the future in the team\u2019s infield. Unfortunately for him, injuries have derailed his development. He has dealt with back issues, a left quad strain, and an elbow injury since the start of 2024, which has left him on the injured list for long periods of time. He hasn\u2019t regained his form when he has been on the field either, hitting just .216 with a .705 OPS in 105 games at the Triple-A level in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Even with his injury issues and inconsistency, it would have been tough to imagine the White Sox risking losing him for nothing just a year ago. After all, he appeared in 32 games for the team in 2024 and likely would have played way more at the MLB level had he not gotten hurt. The White Sox infield has changed dramatically over the past year or so, for the better.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd25 Subscribe to the <b>Untold Chicago YouTube channel<\/b> to hear Chicago legends tell stories you\u2019ve never seen in headlines \u2014 real moments, real experiences, straight from the athletes themselves.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-white-sox-revamped-infield\">White Sox Revamped Infield<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_127,w_6475,h_3642\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/GettyImages\/mmsport\/134\/01kehm7770a0k4mtmvxm.jpg\" alt=\"White Sox latest roster move could signify a bigger trade is coming soon\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These days, Miguel Vargas, Colson Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, and Munetaka Murakami figure to be the everyday starters in the infield for the White Sox, with Lenyn Sosa firmly in the mix for at-bats as well. Sam Antonacci could also enter the equation at the MLB level sometime in 2026, with Caleb Bonemer and Billy Carlson in the lower levels. For the first time in a long time, the White Sox appear to have an abundance of talent at all four infield positions. It could become even more of a strength if the club takes an infielder with the first overall pick in the 2026 draft. As an out-of-options player with no clear path to playing time, Ramos was the odd man out and a casualty of a 40-man roster crunch.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-tangible-progress\">Tangible Progress<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s possible Ramos could clear waivers and remain in the White Sox organization, but they risk losing him for nothing, given that they designated him for assignment. It speaks volumes to how much the team\u2019s infield situation has improved in a short period of time that they would be fine with potentially losing one of their former top infield prospects from just a few years ago. With the infield situation now in much better shape than when he inherited it, Chris Getz must now focus on fixing the outfield in order to take the next step in the rebuild.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.southsidesox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/148\/2026\/01\/gettyimages-2233488890.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0%2C0.020652622883105%2C100%2C99.958694754234&amp;w=2400\" alt=\"Projecting the White Sox Opening Day roster | South Side Sox\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White Sox officially announced the signing of reliever Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez yesterday, agreeing to terms on a two-year, $20-million contract which includes a $1-million signing bonus and&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":147278,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-147272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8 BIG MOVE ALERT: The Chicago White Sox have made a significant roster move that shows just how far the team has come in its rebuilding process.
