- In a video shared by reporter Héctor Gómez, Ramírez said he "should stay here for the rest of my career," expressing gratitude for Guardians fans.
- He previously explained, via a translated interview, that he accepted a below-market seven-year, $141 million extension in 2022 because his family is rooted in Cleveland and he values the city's support.
- The contract runs through 2028 and includes a full no-trade clause, the largest deal in Guardians history.
- Ramírez also issued a message to Mariners ace Luis Castillo, vowing to turn their matchup after seven strikeouts against him in 2025 despite a career line that includes three homers in 29 plate appearances.
