Heading into the upcoming offseason, it’s well known that the Cleveland Indians will be looking to cut payroll. While Jose Ramirez is one of the better value contracts not just in Cleveland, but all of baseball, he could still potentially be on the chopping block for the right price.
Ramirez closed out the 2020 season with an MVP-like performance. After a slow start, he exploded during the backend of the season, leading the American League in runs with 45. Thanks to the late surge, Ramirez was able to raise his slash line to .292/.386/.607 before the season ended, including slugging 17 home runs.
