On Friday,\u00a0it appears <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/mlb\/st-louis-cardinals\/cardinals-news-ken-rosenthal-praises-chaim-bloom-rebuild\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> are adding some infield depth to the roster.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals announced <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Cardinals\/status\/2019863981813617131\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">that they have claimed<\/a> third baseman Bryan Ramos off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. He will be added to the 40-man roster, which will officially fill the roster for spring training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have claimed 3B Bryan Ramos off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles. Our 40-man roster is now full.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramos, who is 23 years old, previously played for the Chicago White Sox in 2024 and 2025. He was initially acquired by the Orioles this offseason for cash; however, the club placed the Cuban infielder on waivers, which made him available for the Cardinals to pick up.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Ramos didn&#8217;t get many opportunities last season, as he only played in four games. He joins St. Louis with a career .198 batting average and .244 OBP, along with 22 career hits, three home runs, and 13 RBIs. Ramos is more than likely going to be a backup during spring training, as Nolan Gorman is expected to be the starting third baseman for the Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on how Ramos plays, he could find himself playing in the Majors in St. Louis to begin the 2026 season. But he will have a challenge in earning a spot on the major league roster, as Thomas Saggese is the likely backup option <a href=\"https:\/\/clutchpoints.com\/mlb\/st-louis-cardinals\/cardinals-news-chaim-bloom-said-trading-brendan-donovan-mariners\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">if the Cardinals<\/a> choose to have two third basemen.<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals will play their first spring training game against the Washington Nationals. That game is set to begin on February 21 at 1:05 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With spring training quickly approaching, teams around the league are finalizing their rosters in preparation for the 2025&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":558604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2403],"tags":[5,160,4,151,673,67,4311,4310],"class_list":{"0":"post-558603","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-st-louis-cardinals","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-cardinals","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-spring-training","12":"tag-st-louis","13":"tag-st-louis-cardinals","14":"tag-stlouis","15":"tag-stlouiscardinals"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116026116352458938","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=558603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/558603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/558604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=558603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=558603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=558603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
