The San Francisco Giants have signed shortstop Willy Adames to a monster deal stealing him away from the Toronto Blue Jays who had him as one of their top free agent targets.
The Blue Jays are looking for some infielder help which is why there has been rumors of them being interested in a few free agents and possible trades including shortstop Willy Adames.
The Giants shortstop sign Willy Adames to a seven year deal worth $182 million
According to multiple reports, the Giants have agreed to a massive deal with shortstop Willy Adames in which he will make $182 million over the next 7 years in the Bay area.

BREAKING: Shortstop Willy Adames and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a seven-year, $182 million contract, the largest deal in franchise history, sources tell ESPN. Adames, 29, had a career-best 32 home runs and 112 RBIs in 2024. The deal is pending a physical.
This big signing comes as no surprise since Adames is coming off a career year with the Milwaukee Brewers in which he had 32 homeruns along with 112 RBIs and a .251 batting average.
Adames, 29, spent the last three and a half seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. Over that span, he hit .244/.323/.457 with 107 home runs and a 113 OPS+. His contributions were estimated to be worth 14 Wins Above Replacement, according to Baseball Reference. -Anderson
Adames was one of the Blue Jays top targets this off-season as they are looking to bring in an infielder while also getting some additional offense which he fit the bill perfectly.
Unfortunately, Ross Atkins has now missed out on another Blue Jays target as he awaits Juan Soto's decision.
