CLEVELAND, Ohio — After years of hinting that he wanted to compete, José Ramírez has finally committed to participating in the All-Star Home Run Derby on Monday. The decision should make those in Cleveland’s front office a little nervous as the 29-year-old slugger is still being bothered by a bruised thumb and he’s only hit one home run since June 10.
Will swinging for the fences in LA hurt Ramírez’s chances at an MVP finish to the season? Paul Hoynes and Joe Noga discuss the possibilities on Thursday’s podcast.
Other topics covered on Thursday’s show include:
- Will Luke Maile go on the concussion list before Thursday’s game?
- Is Civale throwing too many curveballs this year?
- Can the Guards turn things around against the Tigers?
