Rymer believes Devers may not be the only superstar on the move at or before this year\u2019s trade deadline. Additionally, Rymer hypothetically speculated that the Yankees\u00a0could make a move for one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n<h2>Yankees-Guardians Trade Idea Sees Jose Ramirez Land in New York<\/h2>\n<p>The New York Yankees are currently using\u00a0Jazz Chisholm Jr.\u00a0and\u00a0Oswald Peraza\u00a0at third base. Peraza and veteran\u00a0DJ LeMahieu\u00a0are splitting time at second base, with the former receiving most of the playing time.<\/p>\n<p>While Chisholm has shown he\u2019s a capable defender at the hot corner, it may be in the Yankees\u2019 best interest to transition him back to his natural position at second base, if it means acquiring\u00a0Cleveland Guardians\u2019\u00a0third baseman\u00a0Jose Ramirez.<\/p>\n<p>Rymer sees the\u00a0Detroit Tigers\u00a0as a force to be reckoned with in the American League Central, and relinquishing their first-place standing to the Guardians does not seem likely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCleveland has also lost 35 games, though, and the Detroit Tigers have made it clear the AL Central is their division now,\u201d Rymer wrote Wednesday. \u201cThe Guardians simply don\u2019t have the star power to flip the script in 2025, and maybe not in 2026, either.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cleveland\u2019s potential inability to make a profound impact in the postseason is where the Yankees could step in with a significant trade offer for Ramirez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis said, the Yankees\u2019 contention outlook is a heck of a lot better than Cleveland\u2019s, and that is even with a hole on their infield,\u201d wrote Rymer. \u201cHe [Ramirez] would fill that by playing third and bumping Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base, though he\u2019d also partner with Aaron Judge to again give the Yankees the best duo in the American League.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How Ramirez Fits With Yankees<\/h2>\n<p>Ramirez, 32, is having another great year offensively, hitting .319\/.380\/.535 with a 156 OPS+, 13 home runs, and 34 RBIs in 69 games.<\/p>\n<p>As a switch hitter, Ramirez has done most of his damage against righties (188 at-bats), although in a much larger sample size than against left-handed pitchers (72 at-bats). Still, he\u2019s hitting .389 with a .988 OPS against southpaws in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>It would be the New York Yankees\u2019 dream for Ramirez to have the short porch in right field at his disposal. He\u2019s pulled 11 of his 13 home runs this season to the right side of the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for how Ram\u00edrez would fit at Yankee Stadium, here\u2019s a hint: Out of his 268 home runs, 170 have been as a left-handed hitter to right field,\u201d Rymer added.<\/p>\n<p>As far as performance against the Yankees on the road, Ramirez is a career .393 hitter with nine home runs and 19 RBIs in 34 games at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>The fit is obvious. The real question is how much prospect capital and Major League-level talent the Yankees would be willing to give up to acquire Ramirez, and whether the Cleveland Guardians would even consider such an offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty As losers of five consecutive games, the\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0are playing their worst baseball of the season.
