Willy Adames spent four great seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. The shortstop hit came in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays, made an immediate impact, is right behind Corey Seager for the most home runs hit by a shortstop since 2021, and now he’s ready for a huge payday.
As the top available shortstop in this year’s free agency class, Willy Adames didn’t need any extra assist landing a substantial contract. However, a recent contract extension with the Los Angeles Dodgers helped set the stage even further.
Tommy Edman received a substantial contract extension from the Los Angeles Dodgers
Tommy Edman’s recent contract extension highlights several Los Angeles Dodgers trends. One is their preference for super-utility players, and the other is their willingness to hand out huge contracts that include deferred cash. Five years and $74 million for Tommy Edman is another example that represents a significant amount of money for a player of his caliber.
How could Tommy Edman’s contract impact Willy Adames’ free agency?
Tommy Edman’s extension may not have a direct impact on Willy Adames’ contract negotiations, but the Dodgers’ continued willingness to spend significant sums of money on deferrals, including on super-utility players, could have several effects. Adames, who is reportedly open to playing a fresh position at third base, could now be viewed as a player with more versatility. Additionally, it offers much more offensive benefits. All of this further increases Adames’ monetary value and could influence how other teams approach his future contract.
It will be engaging to see how Willy Adames affects the Los Angeles Dodgers’ latest contract tactics.
