The Cleveland Guardians signed seven-time All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez to a new seven-year contract that runs through the 2032 season.
The club did not announce the financial terms on Thursday but multiple reports earlier this month placed the value at $175 million, or $25 million per season for the 33-year-old veteran.
Ramirez had three years and $69 million remaining on his previous contract, a five-year, $124 million extension he signed in 2022.
Ramirez has finished in the top-10 in American League MVP voting on eight occasions, including a third-place finish last season when he batted .283 with 30 homers, 85 RBIs and 44 stolen bases in 158 games.
He enters his 14th season in 2026 ranked second in franchise history in homers (285, trailing only Hall of Famer Jim Thome's 337) and stolen bases (287, trailing only Kenny Lofton's 452). He has a lifetime .279 batting average and .857 OPS to go with 1,001 runs scored, 398 doubles and 949 RBIs.
Ramirez needs just 11 more games to pass early-20th century infielder Terry Turner (1,619) and become Cleveland's all-time leader.
