Jose Ramirez extends his contract with the Cleveland Guardians

ESPN has revealed that, according to their sources, the contract extension of Jose Ramirez with the Cleveland Guardians will have no-trade clause. Considering the MLB 2022 as well as the MLB 2023 season, Jose Ramirez will be getting $150 M. With the 2022 Opening Day starting tomorrow, the Guardians are all set to restart their journey with the 29-year-old.

After getting signed by the Cleveland Indians in 2011, Ramirez spent some time in the minor league from 2011 to 2013. In 2013, Ramirez was called to the MLB. Jose Ramirez made his official MLB debut on September 1st, 2013, when the Cleveland Guardians faced the Detroit Tigers. The Guardians ended up winning the game 4-0.

Since then, Ramirez has been having a great ride with the Guardians. Ramirez became an MLB All-Star thrice in 2017, 2018, and 2021. He also won the Silver Slugger at third base award in 2017, 2018, and 2020.

According to several reports, the San Diego Padres were interested in signing Jose Ramirez right before Opening Day 2022. The Padres were willing to pay a hefty amount to the 3-time All-Star despite having some payroll problems. Now that the dream has been devastated for the Padres, the Guardians will start focusing on Ramirez to create a better impact on the team.

As the Cleveland Guardians played their finals game of Spring Training 2022 yesterday, they are fully focused on their first game of the 2022 MLB season. The Guardians will be facing the Kansas City Royals on Thursday, April 7th at the Kauffman Stadium, Missouri. The Guardians and the Royals are part of the Central Division in the American League of the MLB.
