Dealt to Cubs Ramirez was traded from the Guardians to the Cubs on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.

Impact Ramirez hasn't shown himself to be anything more than a bench piece through three major-league seasons, hitting .271/.308/.405 for his career. He makes good contact, striking out in just 18.2 percent of his plate appearances, but he's walked just 4.0 percent of the time and has below-average power, as seen in his 5.6 percent career barrel rate. That profile might work as a passable starter if he were a good defensive center fielder, but he's graded out poorly there and fits better in a corner. He's at least found himself with a team that has plenty of playing time available, but he'll be an unexciting option even if he plays regularly.

Cast off 40-man Ramirez was designated for assignment on Friday.

Impact While Ramirez was serviceable last season, he's hardly a building block for Cleveland, and the team added 11 legitimate prospects to the 40-man roster in corresponding moves. He could be with another organization when spring training arrives.

For the year, he has a .267/.306/.406 slash line with seven long balls, 38 RBI, 33 runs scored and three stolen bases. He continues to be Cleveland's preferred left fielder versus right-handed pitching, while Oscar Mercado has served more often as a fourth outfielder.
