Later Career and Decline
Ramírez was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012, where he continued to deliver strong offensive performances when healthy. His time in Los Angeles, however, was marred by injuries. He returned to the Boston Red Sox in 2015 as a free agent, initially playing left field before shifting to first base in 2016, where he experienced a brief resurgence. By 2017, both his batting average and overall production declined significantly, contributing to his release by the Red Sox early in the 2018 season. He briefly signed with the Cleveland Indians in 2019 but was designated for assignment after just 16 games, marking the end of his MLB career.

In June 2018, shortly after being released by the Red Sox, Ramírez was briefly connected to a narcotics investigation based in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

In April 2019, Hanley Ramírez became a naturalized citizen of the United States, further underscoring his longstanding ties to the country where he played the entirety of his professional baseball career.
