The Chicago Cubs will have competition with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the slugging shortstop.
Los Angeles Dodgers"I expected Willy Adames to be traded to the Dodgers after Corey Seager departed as a free agent in 2021, but it never happened because the Brewers remained a contender and never made him available. With Adames now reaching free agency, the Dodgers should be viewed as heavy favorites to land him. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman had Adames in his organization for a couple of years when he was GM of the Rays and has always been a big fan of the player.
If Chicago wants to sign Adames, which, from their perspective, would make perfect sense due to how poorly their offense performed last year, they might have to get creative defensively.Adames isn't an above-average defensive player by any means, which brings some worries about him sliding over to second base, but they could do so with Dansby Swanson.for the foreseeable future.
The 29-year-old Dominican Republic native is an elite offensive player. During the season, he slashed .251/.331/.462 with a 118 OPS+ and 32 home runs.The Cubs have other areas to fill, so spending $150 million on Adames might affect some of the moves they need to make. Still, landing him would do wonders for this offense.
