Star Slugger Adames Joins Giants, Mets Retain Alonso

The San Francisco Giants made headlines by signing Willy Adames to a seven-year contract, marking the most lucrative deal in franchise history. This acquisition aims to bolster their infield and add power to their lineup, as they seek to fill the gap left by slugger Pete Alonso, who has re-signed with the New York Mets on a two-year deal. The Giants had considered Alonso but chose not to pursue him further due to concerns about blocking their top prospect, Bryce Eldridge. Meanwhile, Tommy Pham has found a new home with the Pittsburgh Pirates after a tumultuous previous season, and Harrison Bader has joined the Minnesota Twins following a stint with the Mets. As spring training approaches, teams like the New York Yankees are also looking to bolster their rosters, potentially eyeing players like Alex Verdugo to fill their needs in left field.
