On August 29, 2020, Ramirez signed a one year deal with the ABL's Sydney Blue Sox to be a player-coach. Adam Dobb, the owner of the Blue Sox, would not disclose the details of Ramirez' contract, other than to say he would be earning much less than he did playing in MLB. During an interview, Ramirez said he envisioned his role mainly as a coach to the team's young players. He also said he was happy to be playing in Sydney, "I could’ve gone to the Dominican Republic, where I’ve played, but I wanted to try something different. The city is beautiful. The city’s on the water. It’s unbelievable."
