Willy Adames News
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames had a huge game in Sunday's Cactus League matchup versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Adames went 3-for-3 with four runs and three home runs. The homers would knock in all of his six RBI on the day. The 28-year-old was the subject of trade rumors this offseason, but stuck with the Brewers and has had a huge spring with a .317 batting average to accompany six homers and 15 RBI. Adames has seen a dip in his batting average over the past two seasons, but the power remains there with 24 or more homers in the past three seasons. An upcoming free-agent, Adames is motivated to get that big pay day and his hot start in the spring makes him an intriguing bounce back candidate.
Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's Cactus League loss versus the San Francisco Giants. His lone hit was a triple and he also knocked in one run. Adames was a name that was and is rumored to be available as he has an expiring contract after this season. The 28 year-old had an odd 2023 campaign with a weak .217 batting average, but serviceable in the power department with 24 homers and 80 RBI. Adames is a career .251 hitter, so his batting average should improve from last season to go along with his power numbers. He makes for an intriguing late-round, bounce back candidate with an ADP of 189 heading into the season.
One executive has speculated that the Los Angeles Dodgers could make an attempt to land both Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes and shortstop Willy Adames in the same deal this offseason. Both Burnes and Adames are eligible for free agency next offseason. The Dodgers are fully expected to pursue starting pitching in the offseason with Walker Buehler (elbow) coming off Tommy John surgery and with Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) on the open market. LA is likely to pursue both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani (elbow), the two big-ticket free-agent options this winter, but Ohtani won't be able to take the mound at all in 2024. The Brewers are heading into a rebuilding phase and are listening on all of their players.

Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames couldn't put it together consistently at the plate in 2023. He brought his usual pop to the table with 24 home runs and another 29 doubles across 149 games but he also hit just .217, 30 points below his .247 career average. Despite walking more and striking out less, Adames finished with a career-worst 94 wRC+. However, he also suffered from a career-low .259 BABIP, a hefty 51 points below his .310 career mark. Now, some of that was warranted considering he ranked in the 23rd percentile in hard-hit rare and 16th in average exit velocity. However, he also ranked in the 82nd percentile in barrel rate and ranked in the 70th percentile or better in hard-hit rate from 2021-2022. He currently boasts a 185.3 ADP, a figure more or less in line with RotoBaller's 191 ranking. However, for those willing to pass on the top tier of shortstops early on draft day, Adames could provide a big ROI in the later rounds with 30-homer upside and superior batted-ball luck on the horizon.
