Man, you won’t believe the day I’ve had. I got this sudden urge to dig into Jose Ramirez’s contract with the Cleveland Guardians. It all started this morning when I was scrolling through sports news.
I opened up my laptop and started with a simple search. I just typed in “Jose Ramirez contract” into the search bar, and boom, a ton of articles popped up.
- First thing I noticed was that he signed a five-year extension for $124 million. That’s a lot of money!
- Then I saw that with the current year and a 2023 option, the total guarantee is around $150 million. Makes sense, given how good he is.
- Diving deeper, I found out this deal has a full no-trade clause. Smart move for him, he gets to stay put if he wants.
I spent a good chunk of the afternoon just reading through different sources. Some sites had a bit more detail, talking about how it’s the biggest contract in Cleveland’s history. I mean, he’s a key player for the Guardians – an All-Star third baseman, no less.
I also stumbled upon some info about his annual salary. It looks like he’s getting $17 million for the 2024 season, with an average of about $20 million over the contract. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
Real Leader
What really struck me was how everyone talked about him being a perfect leader for the team. Whether it’s his home runs, his defense, or even just how he runs the bases, he leads by example. It’s cool to see that kind of impact beyond just the numbers.
Oh, and get this – he’s never won a Gold Glove, despite being a finalist six times! I found that surprising, given his defensive skills.
By the end of it all, I felt like I had a pretty good grasp of the whole situation. It wasn’t just about the money, but also about his role on the team and what this contract means for the Guardians’ future. Pretty interesting stuff, I must say. I learned a lot today.
