He also had 21 stolen bases, a WAR of 3.1, and 153 hits. Adames made his MLB debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018 and played with them until 2021. During this time Adames showcased promising strength, finesse, and talent that has led to the player he is today. He demonstrated this both at the plate and defensively, and his recent play in Milwaukee makes him deserving of a large offer. Adames and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/10\/31\/freddie-freeman-wins-2024-world-series-mvp\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Dodgers World Series MVP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/freemfr01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-07_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Freddie Freeman<\/a> are reportedly close friends, which means the Mets have major competition. The Mets already lost the battle in the National League Championship Series against the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>If the Mets did acquire Adames this would mean they would have to let go of outfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/winkeje01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-07_br\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jesse Winker<\/a>. New York is already rumored to be cutting ties with him. But with the Dodgers heading into the 2025 season with their heads held high, it would be difficult for Adames to deny an offer from the champs, who could become a dynasty in the near future. When it comes down to it, if Adames went with the Dodgers he would likely get to play shortstop, which is the position he hopes to continue playing.<\/p>\n<p>But if Adames were to transition to third base, he would still have the power to showcase his talent along with attaining a large contract. With no surprise, the Dodgers are hyped as the top suitor for Adames. But Senior National reporter for MLB.com Mark Feinsand has also claimed that the Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2024\/11\/01\/sf-giants-snell-contract-free-agent\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">San Francisco Giants<\/a> are also in the mix on signing the slugger.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: \u00a9 Benny Sieu-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MLB insider Mike Rodriguez is reporting that the New York Mets are one of multiple teams with offers on the table for Milwaukee Brewers free agent and shortstop Willy Adames.
