If they aren't planning a complete teardown and rebuild, the price to acquire him will remain quite high until we get well into next season. The Guardians just have no reason to come down off their demands right now.
I suppose but If Cleveland doesn't have real hopes of competing in the next two years the only thing holding onto Ramirez does is decrease his value. They waited until Lindor only had the one year left of team control and he was arguably more valuable than Ramirez and they got a package from the Mets that most people considered pretty lackluster.
You could hold onto him for a few months and hope some team gets desperate and offers the farm but that seems like a pretty big risk considering he could get hurt or have a bad start or something.
