Every year, the Guardians always seem to ink some member of their core to a contract extension. In 2022, José Ramírez holed up in the visiting manager’s office at Chase Field to finalize the most-important extension in team history (they also inked Myles Straw and Emmanuel Clase to extensions that spring)
A year later, it was Andrés Giménez and Trevor Stephan’s turn. Although the front office left Goodyear in 2024 without making a deal, they wasted no time this spring by signing Tanner Bibee to a five-year extension.
Normally extension talk is reserved for that spring window, but it’s been the topic du jour for Guardians fans over the past couple months due to Steven Kwan’s eventful foray through this year's trade deadline.
