Rays Win Arbitration Case With Harold Ramirez
10 months agoThe Tampa Bay Rays won their salary arbitration case over designated hitter Harold Ramirez on Thursday. Ramirez will make $3.8 million in 2024 instead of the $4.3 million that he had filed for. This was Ramirez's third year of arbitration eligibility, and he'll see a $1.6 million increase from his salary a year ago. The 29-year-old has been mentioned as a trade candidate during the offseason and will have to compete for playing time with Jonathan Aranda if he sticks around with the Rays. He hit a strong .313/.353/.460 and an .813 OPS with career-highs in home runs (12), RBI (68), stolen bases (five) and runs scored (58) in 122 games in 2023 in his second year with the team. Ramirez has absolutely tortured left-handed pitching the last two years, making him the perfect platoon player for DFS.
