Dodgers and Mets Compete for Free Agent Willy Adames

Both teams have made substantial offers to the shortstop, with the Mets proposing a position change to third base.

Willy Adames, a top free agent shortstop, has received offers from the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.
The Mets have offered Adames over $160 million for seven years, intending to move him to third base due to Francisco Lindor's presence at shortstop.
Adames, who hit 32 home runs and had 112 RBIs for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2024, prefers to remain at shortstop but is open to changing positions for the right offer.
Despite his offensive prowess, Adames had a challenging defensive year in 2024, with 10 errors and negative Defensive Runs Saved.
The San Francisco Giants are also potential contenders for Adames, seeking to bolster their infield options.
