We are focused on my contract and that\u2019s all I can tell you,\u201d he declared to the media.\n\n\n<p>Although in the past I had expressed interest in representing the Dominican Republic in the Classic, reports suggest doubts about his participation. The national team is expected to issue a statement to clarify the situation.<\/p>\n\n\nRecently, the Major League portal ranked Ram\u00edrez as the fifth-best baseball player and the best Dominican in the Majors, which reinforces his position as a prominent figure.\n\nRamirez and the Cleveland Guardians agreed to a seven-year, $175 million contract extension, securing his stay with the franchise.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>My dream remains the same: to win a World Series<\/p><cite>Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe player, originally from Ban\u00ed, thanked the organization for the trust placed in him. &#8220;The organization gave me the opportunity when I was 16 years old and my whole family is happy here. I know there are comments about the money, but this is where I want to be,&#8221; he affirmed.\n\nRam\u00edrez describes himself as &#8220;half Cleveland and half Dominican Republic,&#8221; highlighting that he resides in the city and that his children were born there. He also recalled the initial challenges of his career and the crucial support from the Guardians.\n\n&#8220;Since I signed, I had the mentality of finishing here. I was rejected a lot when I was young and Cleveland gave me the opportunity. That&#8217;s why I wanted to stay in this organization,&#8221; he concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jos\u00e9 Ram\u00edrez: Will he play in the World Baseball Classic?
