The Cleveland Guardians<\/a> and Jose Ramirez have been a match made in heaven since he started with the team back in 2013.<\/p>\n

Ramirez is on track to make the Hall of Fame, and after his $175 million extension with the Guardians, he will likely do so wearing only a Guardians cap in his career.<\/p>\n

But this deal led some haters to comment on the team-friendly nature of Ramirez’s deal. However, Rafa Nieves, Ramirez’s agent<\/a>, had a perfect response to the hate for taking these team-friendly deals to keep Ramirez in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

Jose Ramirez’s agent has great response to hate for team-friendly deal<\/p>\n

Chuck Naso of Barstool Sports posted on Twitter\/x<\/a> a comment saying, “Jose Ramirez’s agent has to hate him so much for taking these discounts.”<\/p>\n

Naso isn’t the only one, as many fans don’t understand why Ramirez, unlike the rest of the Major Leaguers in baseball, won’t hit free agency and seek the most money.<\/p>\n

In response to this comment, and others like it, Nieves highlighted just why those comments hating on Ramirez and his agent for taking “small” deals miss the point.<\/p>\n

“The deal brings his total career earnings to $272m, and it also comes with a statue in CF, his number retired, a 1st ballot HOF entrance almost guaranteed, a baseball field, and also a street named after him in Cleveland,” Nieves posted. “Jose marches at the beat of his own drum, and I respect that. He will laugh at the critics all the way to the bank on his way to Cooperstown.”<\/p>\n

Ramirez hasn’t signed the blockbuster extension that he likely couldn’t tried forcing his way into during his MLB career. Plenty of teams would’ve spent a fortune to bring Ramirez onto their roster.<\/p>\n

But, he valued his time in Cleveland, and unlike many Major Leaguers, want’s to stay with one team for the entirety of his MLB career.<\/p>\n

Nieves’ post in response to the haters is a very valid one, as Ramirez has done more than enough to do what he wants to do in his professional career.<\/p>\n

Even though he could’ve landed a massive deal in free agency, that’s not what Ramirez wanted. He wants to stay in Cleveland, and this extension through 2032 does just that.<\/p>\n

The future Hall of Fame third baseman is a Cleveland sports legend and is as loyal to his team as any player has been in their professional career.<\/p>\n
