It is almost a fact that Willy Adames will not return to the Milwaukee Brewers, who, unlike the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, do not seem willing to enter into an economic battle for the services of their shortstop tenant of the previous three seasons. and a half.
Indeed, the Dominican is one of the most important names in the current MLB free agency, so much so that he is willing to change his position if it is to achieve a lucrative agreement.
“If you imagine the Yankees NOT signing Juan Soto. Then perhaps, they pivot to a combination of Santander, Christian Walker, maybe… Willy Adames.”

For this reason, the famous analyst Jon Morosi assured that there are up to eight teams interested in Adames, including the Yankees and Red Sox, although for different purposes.
The thing is that if the man born in Santiago de los Caballeros joins the Bronx Bombers, he would have to move to third base, since Anthony Volpe is immovable from short stops; while with Boston, the owner of at least 24 home runs in each of the recent four seasons would serve as the starting shortstop so that Trevor Story, hampered by injuries lately, defends second base, knowing that the benchmark of the New York franchise England, Rafael Devers, would continue in the third.
Meanwhile, Morosi added the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays, Houston Astros and the Mets as the rest of the contenders to sign Adames, who Spotrac estimates will agree for around six seasons and 152 million dollars.
