In 2017, the Cleveland Indians signed their budding star third baseman Jose Ramírez to a five-year deal worth $26 million with club options for the 2022 and 2023 seasons at $11 million and $13 million, respectively.
This weekend against the New York Yankees, Ramirez had a phenomenal series. He was 6-for-10 with four walks, two home runs, one of which hit the top of the second deck in left field, and he had four RBI and a stolen base for good measure. He was the best player on the field the entire series.
The Yankees knew that he was the only one that could really hurt them and they still couldn’t stop him.
