Once upon a time, Hanley Ramirez was one of MLB's biggest superstars. It's safe to say those days are over.
In May 2018, the Boston Red Sox designated Ramirez for assignment, which is a polite way of saying they opted to pay him approximately $15 million-plus to not play for them.
"I don't think he didn't fit in, but I think his role was going to diminish and for how good of a player he is, it was going to be difficult," manager Alex Cora said at the time, per MLB.com's Ian Browne.
