The New York Mets are working to strengthen their ranks in the best possible way in this Major League offseason in order to arrive with a solid roster for the 2025 season and fight again to advance to the World Series to win the title. of champion.
One of the names that is ringing strong in the board is that of the Dominican shortstop of the Milwaukee Brewers, Willy Adames, who would have received a juicy offer from the New York team according to the information revealed by journalist Mike Rodríguez.
The reporter detailed that the Mets presented him with a seven-year contract in exchange for $160 million dollars, which has generated an immediate reaction from the Major League Baseball (MLB) teams to try to avoid this agreement; although Adames was not so interested in this offer from the Big Apple.
“According to my sources, the Mets have made an offer of more than 160 million dollars for a period of 7 years to Willy Adames. His intention is for him to play third base; However, Adames is not convinced, as he prefers to continue at shortstop. If Adames goes to the Mets, Alonso leaves and Vientos goes to First Base,” Rodríguez wrote through his account on the social network X (former Twitter).
The main problem of Adames accepting the Mets offer would be because the team already has Francisco Lindor at shortstop, So the team’s plans would be to place him at third base to protect that area throughout the season.
It is important to highlight that Rodríguez also detailed that Adames “He has a proposal from the Dodgers”so the situation becomes complicated for Carlos Mendoza’s team in this negotiation.
Adames had a great year during the 2024 Major League season, leaving a .251 average with 153 hits, 32 home runs, 112 runs batted in and 93 runs scored, being fundamental in the Brewers’ offense to once again reach the postseason.
