BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

Again, three more years left on it.

BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

He never was going to make more than – or he never made more than $22.25 million.

And, yeah, that's a lot of money, but not for Jose Ramirez.

I mean, Jose Ramirez –

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

is a guy, if he went into the free agent market, I think, I don't know what you'd be making right now because of his age, but certainly back then, back at the heart of the deal, he'd be making a whole lot more than he's making now, which is again, the max.

He wasn't even making $22 million in his most recent year.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

because the way it was structured, but still, you know, it was $22 million.

That was the most he had made in the life of the contract.

This contract, it'll be paid $25 million a year, all the way through his age 39 season, which, you know, again, $25 million, not a lot of money.

But not crazy, crazy money for the player that Jose Ramirez is.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

And who is that player?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

Well, that's what I want to talk about right now.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

Jose Ramirez is going to be, I think, going to be a Hall of Famer.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

I don't think there's going to be a question about it.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

I think when the rubber meets the road and we start talking about just a couple more years about Jose Ramirez, if he's able to keep doing what he's doing, which there are no signs that he's slowing down at all,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

That he's going to be locked in as a Hall of Famer, which is always a good conversation.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

And maybe we can talk about Hall of Famers and who should be in the Hall of Fame and who shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

And we all just went through that with all the announcements and my voting and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

But still, it's always good to talk about what players now are going to be in the Hall of Fame.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB on the Go: It's Time To Appreciate Jose Ramirez

And Jose Ramirez, much like I said to Kenley Jansen, I said, Kenley, I think you're in the Hall of Fame.
