Willy Adames Signs Record Deal with Giants

Willy Adames has officially left the Milwaukee Brewers to sign a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, marking the largest deal in Giants history. During his time with the Brewers, Adames hit 107 home runs and was regarded as a fan favorite, but the team recognized they could not match his market value. Milwaukee will gain an additional draft pick next year due to Adames declining their qualifying offer, enabling them to focus on developing younger talent like Joey Ortiz and Brice Turang. As the Brewers look to fill the shortstop position, potential trade targets include Kansas City Royals infielder Maikel Garcia, known for his versatility and speed. The Brewers are expected to strategize around their draft opportunities and might consider signing a utility player like Gio Urshela to bolster their infield depth. This transition signals a shift for the Brewers as they embrace a younger roster while continuing to pursue competitive success.
