Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez has agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in Cleveland through the 2032 season. Sources confirm the deal adds four years to his existing contract, paying him $175 million over seven seasons with $10 million deferred annually. Pending a physical, the agreement includes a no-trade clause and bonuses for MVP voting finishes.

Ramirez, 33, has been the franchise's cornerstone since his 2013 debut, earning seven All-Star selections and six top-five MVP finishes. His career .857 OPS, 285 home runs, and 287 stolen bases have driven Cleveland to seven postseason appearances since 2016. This extension ensures the team's best player remains its centerpiece through his age-39 season, rewarding his loyalty despite potentially larger offers elsewhere.

The original seven-year, $141 million deal signed in 2022 had three years remaining. This restructure guarantees Ramirez's commitment as Cleveland builds around him, with bonuses for All-Star selections, Gold Gloves, and World Series MVP. The deferred payments, structured as $1 million annually from 2036-2045, provide long-term financial flexibility for the Guardians.
