Again, three more years left on it.
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 –
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.
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.
And who is that player?
Well, that's what I want to talk about right now.
Jose Ramirez is going to be, I think, going to be a Hall of Famer.
I don't think there's going to be a question about it.
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,
That he's going to be locked in as a Hall of Famer, which is always a good conversation.
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.
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.
But still, it's always good to talk about what players now are going to be in the Hall of Fame.
And Jose Ramirez, much like I said to Kenley Jansen, I said, Kenley, I think you're in the Hall of Fame.
