Willy Adames Stats

The Cincinnati Reds are still looking at shortstops and have considered free-agent Jonathan Villar and trades for Cleveland Indians shortstop Amed Rosario and Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames. Cincy signed infielder Dee Strange-Gordon to a minor league deal over the weekend, but he's mostly a depth/fallback option at the position. Adames would likely cost the Reds some decent prospects, but Tampa may be open to dealing him with top prospect Wander Franco on the horizon. Adames is under team control for the next four seasons and would be an immediate upgrade with the glove and the bat. A trade for Adames would allow Kyle Farmer to serve as a utility infielder and take pressure off the team to rush Jose Garcia to the majors. The 22-year-old Garcia is the team's best infield prospect, but he could use some more minor league seasoning.

The Rays continue to grow the gap between these teams in game four, with Willy Adames mutilating a pitch 419 feet to left-center. Adames isnt the greatest hitter against righties that can throw hard, but Verlander is obviously not his usual-self and has left a few pitches over the plate. Lets see if this Rays bullpen can hold off a late-inning surge that you know the Astros will threaten with. If they can, well be heading to a game five in Houston.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Willy Adames will try to stay hot and stave off elimination against the Astros in Game 4. Adames went 3-for-3 with a double and a home run in Game 3 and is 4-for-7 in his last two games. Adames hit a solid .292 against right-handed pitching this season and will face the Astros ace, Justin Verlander, in Game 4. But Adames really struggled hitting at Tropicana Field this season. In 75 home games, Adames posted a dismal .557 OPS but will try to provide a spark from the bottom of the Rays batting order.
