Mets Pursue Willy Adames for Infield Role

News summary

Willy Adames, the top free agent shortstop, is open to transitioning to third or second base if it means signing with a competitive team, particularly the New York Mets, who are looking to bolster their roster this offseason. Adames experienced a decline in defensive performance in 2024, which has led to speculation about his ability to remain at shortstop. The Mets may also pursue left-hander Blake Snell to fill gaps in their rotation after losing starting pitchers Sean Manaea and Luis Severino to free agency. Adames had an impressive offensive season with 32 home runs and 112 RBIs, enhancing his appeal despite his recent fielding struggles. With a potential six-year, $160 million deal on the horizon, Adames could attract significant interest from multiple teams, including the Dodgers and Giants. Mets president David Stearns is familiar with Adames from his time with the Brewers, adding to the likelihood of a successful acquisition.
