Willy Adames Joins San Francisco Giants in Record-Breaking $182 Million Deal

The Giants secure the power-hitting shortstop as Buster Posey's first major move as head of the front office.

Willy Adames signed a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, the largest in franchise history.
The 29-year-old shortstop is coming off a career-best season, hitting .251 with 32 home runs and 112 RBIs for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Adames is praised for his leadership, strong clubhouse presence, and ability to connect with teammates and staff across all levels.
This is the first major acquisition under Buster Posey, the Giants' new baseball operations leader, signaling a shift in the team's strategy after missing the playoffs for three consecutive years.
While Adames' defensive metrics slipped slightly last season, his overall skill set and work ethic are expected to bolster the Giants' roster significantly.
