Giants Sign Willy Adames to Record $182 Million Deal

The 29-year-old shortstop brings durability, power, and defensive reliability to San Francisco's roster under Buster Posey's leadership.

Willy Adames signed a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, the largest deal in franchise history.
Adames, known for his consistency and durability, played a career-high 161 games in 2024 while posting career-best offensive numbers, including 32 home runs and 21 stolen bases.
The Giants opted for Adames after a previous agreement with Carlos Correa fell through in 2022 due to medical concerns, with Correa continuing to face injury challenges.
Adames has been a top-10 shortstop in recent years, ranking among leaders in WAR and home runs while also contributing solid defensive metrics over his career.
The acquisition reflects the Giants' effort to solidify their lineup and improve defensively, with Adames expected to pair well with Gold Glove third baseman Matt Chapman.
