Homers, stays hot at plate Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a two run home run and three RBI in the win over the Reds on Wednesday.

Impact Ramirez got hit by a Nick Lodolo curveball with the bases loaded in the top of the second inning, driving in Austin Hedges. The third baseman later took Lodolo deep in the fourth inning, driving in two more runs. Ramirez is now up to three homers and an eye-popping 14 RBI through six contests this season. Now locked up with a long-term contract with the Guardians, the 29-year-old appears to be setting the groundwork for another MVP-caliber season in 2022.

Eight total bases Tuesday Ramirez went 3-for-5 with a triple, a grand slam and six total RBI in Tuesday's win over the Reds. He was also caught stealing.

Impact Ramirez tripled on a blooper to shallow left-center, the result of Nick Senzel and Tommy Pham colliding in the outfield. His grand slam in the ninth, which broke the game open for Cleveland, was no cheapie. Ramirez is batting .429 in the early going.

Socks two-run bomb Ramirez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double, three total RBI, three runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Royals.

Impact Ramirez has recorded hits in each of his first three games of the season and was excellent in this one, as he filled out the box score in what was a dominant win for Cleveland. He went yard for the first time in 2022 but already has three extra-base hits, and even though it's still early on the season, he's already gone 5-for-12 with two doubles, a homer, four RBI and three runs scored thus far.

Agrees to $124 million extension Ramirez and the Guardians agreed to terms Wednesday on a five-year, $124 million contract extension, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. The deal includes a full no-trade clause.

Impact Ramirez will still be paid $12 million in 2022 and will automatically have his existing $14 million team option for 2023 picked up as part of the extension, which won't go into effect until the 2024 season. Though Ramirez may not be able to justify a nearly $25 million salary in his age-36 season during the final year of the deal, he's already more than overdelivered on the four-year, $26 million extension he signed with Cleveland in March 2017. In the five seasons since that deal, Ramirez has produced a collective 139 wRC+ while playing 150-plus games in three of those four years, not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. Though he's now locked in long term with a Cleveland club that could be teetering toward a rebuild, Ramirez still had a compelling case for a top-five selection during fantasy drafts earlier this spring after he finished the 2021 season with a .266 average, 36 home runs, 27 steals, 111 runs and 103 RBI.

Slow progress on extension talks Ramirez and the Guardians have made little progress on negotiating a long-term contract extension, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Ramirez's option was exercised by Cleveland in November, so he'll earn $12 million for this season. There's one more option on his current contract, but both sides would greatly benefit by locking in a strong five-tool player long term. Ramirez hit .266/.355/.538 with 36 home runs, 103 RBI, 111 runs scored and 27 stolen bases in 152 games last season, and he enters 2022 as the everyday third baseman as he has for the last six years. He figures to be a bright spot in the heart of the lineup even if the Guardians struggle again this season.
