3 years agoThe 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.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
