Ramirez elected free agency Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Ramirez was designated for assignment by the Rays in late August but remained in the organization and finished the campaign in Triple-A. The right-handed hurler logged a 4.35 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings while going 3-0 with one save in the majors last season. Ramirez worked as a starter early in his career but has been almost exclusively a reliever since 2019.
