After getting signed by the Cleveland Indians in 2011, Ramirez spent some time in the minor league from 2011 to 2013. In 2013, Ramirez was called to the MLB. Jose Ramirez made his official MLB debut on September 1st, 2013, when the Cleveland Guardians faced the Detroit Tigers. The Guardians ended up winning the game 4-0.

Since then, Ramirez has been having a great ride with the Guardians. Ramirez became an MLB All-Star thrice in 2017, 2018, and 2021. He also won the Silver Slugger at third base award in 2017, 2018, and 2020.

According to several reports, the San Diego Padres were interested in signing Jose Ramirez right before Opening Day 2022. The Padres were willing to pay a hefty amount to the 3-time All-Star despite having some payroll problems. Now that the dream has been devastated for the Padres, the Guardians will start focusing on Ramirez to create a better impact on the team.
