Jose Ramirez Rumors: Guardians Contract Extension Talks Have 'Broken Down'

Talks between the Cleveland Guardians and All-Star third baseman Jose Ramirez about a possible contract extension have reportedly "broken down" ahead of the 2022 MLB season.

"Ramirez's representatives and the Guardians have been talking on and off about an extension. This was an important week in trying to get a deal done, but it appears negotiations have bogged down, if not ended," Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reported Friday.

The three-time Silver Slugger Award winner is set to enter the final guaranteed season of a four-year, $26 million contract. The Guardians hold a $14 million club option for 2023.
