Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 2-for-5 at the plate in the team's 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. He has now recorded at least one hit in 12 consecutive games to start the year, with multiple hits coming on five occasions. The 29-year-old is one of the league's hottest hitters right now. He's currently slashing .426/.472/.830 with four home runs, seven runs scored and an MLB-leading 20 RBI. He looks well on his way to another elite fantasy season across the board.

The Cleveland Guardians have signed star third baseman Jose Ramirez to a seven-year contract extension. According to Jon Heyman, Ramirez will be guaranteed $141 million over seven seasons. The contract has an average annual value of just over $20 million per year, but the latter years are more lucrative for the 29-year-old than the next few years. Ramirez's new deal amounts to the biggest contract in club history. He is now signed through the 2028 season. Over his 10 years with Cleveland, Ramirez has slashed .280/.355/.505 with 166 home runs and 154 stolen bases.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez had yet another fantastic day at the plate on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI to help beat the Cincinnati Reds 7-3. He now has back-to-back three-hit days, as he went 3-for-5 with a grand slam on Tuesday. Ramirez has cemented himself as one of the best fantasy players in the game and looks to be continuing that in 2022. The 29-year-old is slashing a crisp .480/.536/.1040 with three home runs, five runs and 14 RBI over the first six games of the season. Across 152 games last year, he hit .266 while adding 36 HRs, 111 runs, 103 RBI and 27 stolen bases. Fantasy managers can't expect Ramirez to stay this hot the whole season, but they do have a five-category contributor and the top third baseman in all of baseball.

The Cleveland Guardians have agreed to a five-year contract extension with star third baseman Jose Ramirez. The extension is worth $124 million and Ramirez now has $150 million guaranteed overall on his contract with the club. The 29-year-old had been the subject of some trade rumors this offseason as the Guardians' roster looks rather rebuild-y from top to bottom. However, the team chose to stick with its best offensive player. Last year, over 152 games, Ramirez slashed .266/.355/.538 with 36 home runs, 103 RBI and 111 runs.

The Cleveland Guardians contract-extension talks with All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez appear to have broken down. The Guardians have set an April 7 deadline for potential contract extensions, so they are running out of time. The switch-hitting Ramirez is the highest-paid player on the team and will make $12 million in 2022 with a team option for 2023 worth $14 million. But Ramirez is underpaid after finishing in the top three of American League MVP voting three times since 2017. The 29-year-old hit .266/.355/.538 with 36 home runs, 103 RBI, 111 runs scored and 27 stolen bases in 152 games last year and remains an elite five-category fantasy contributor, even if he doesn't secure a contract extension before Opening Day.

The Cleveland Guardians and third baseman Jose Ramirez's representatives have been talking on and off for the last couple of weeks about a potential contract extension that would keep the three-time All-Star in town for the bulk of his career. He signed with the team as a 17-year-old and has said he'd like to finish his career with the organization. Ramirez is the team's highest-paid player this year at $12 million, and they hold a club option on him for 2023. The 29-year-old hit .266/.355/.538 with 32 doubles, five triples, 36 home runs and 103 RBI last year while scoring 111 runs and stealing 27 bases. Among all position players, he ranked fifth with a 6.7 WAR, and he's finished second in the American League MVP voting once. Regardless of whether the Guardians extend him, Ramirez will be an elite fantasy asset in 2022.

The Toronto Blue Jays have spoken to the Cleveland Guardians about a trade for third baseman Jose Ramirez, with the idea of playing him at second base, according to sources. Other teams are showing interest in Ramirez as well, but the Guardians remain unlikely to move him. He's under team control for two more seasons at a combined $24 million, which is a steal for a player of Ramirez's caliber. Toronto just acquired third baseman Matt Chapman from the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, but they may not be done wheeling and dealing. Ramirez, 29, made his third All-Star team in 2021 by hitting .266/.355/.538 with 36 home runs, 103 RBI and 27 stolen bases in 152 games. He's a top-five fantasy option in the first round of drafts.

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez continues to be one of the best all-around players in baseball after posting an .893 OPS with 36 home runs and 27 stolen bases in 152 games in 2021. Ramirez made his third All-Star team, and Cleveland made the no-brainer move to pick up his $12 million option for 2022. The 29-year-old switch-hitter also has an option for the 2023 season ($14 million) and continues to be one of the best overall values in baseball at his current salary. RotoBaller has Ramirez currently ranked as the top fantasy third baseman, and fantasy managers are taking him in the first round due to positional scarcity at third base.

Third baseman Jose Ramirez will have his $12 million option for the 2022 season picked up by Cleveland. Ramirez continues to get better at baseball, and he finished the 2021 season with an outstanding .893 OPS with 36 home runs and 27 stolen bases in 152 games for Cleveland. The 29-year-old just finished the final guaranteed season of his four-year, $26 million deal, but he also has an option for the 2023 season. The three-time All-Star has one of the most team-friendly deals in franchise history, and the three-time Silver Slugger winner will remain a fixture atop Cleveland's lineup going into next season. Ramirez's option for the 2023 season will be worth $14 million, which should still be a huge bargain for one of the best all-around players in baseball.
