While José Ramírez tends to be the most-low maintenance superstar in baseball, the heat turns up underneath the Guardians’ front office with every wasted year of his prime.
Earlier this week, all of Cleveland got a harsh reminder of that when a fan bought a full-page ad in the Cleveland Plain Dealer urging owner Paul Dolan to sell if he can’t commit to building a winning team around Ramírez.
And even if it may not do anything (fans have been complaining about the Dolan’s ownership for years), it’s another reminder of how much October failures sting for a fanbase with the sport’s longest World Series drought.
