Willy Adames is excited to join the Giants and aims to play every game while bringing home championships to San Francisco
San Francisco: Willy Adames is ready to make a splash with the Giants. He’s all in on playing every single game this season. When he was introduced as the new shortstop, he made it clear he’s eager to get started.
Adames looked at manager Bob Melvin and joked, “if he lets me.” Melvin is thrilled to have a solid player at shortstop, especially after a rocky year. Adames also shared his goal of winning championships, just like Buster Posey did during his time as a player.
At Oracle Park, surrounded by family, Adames signed a massive seven-year, $182 million contract. This is the first big move by Posey since taking over as President of Baseball Operations. Adames couldn’t hide his excitement, saying it’s a dream come true to be in such a beautiful city.
He’s not just about the game; he wants to be a role model for younger players. Adames believes in treating everyone with respect and spreading positivity. He’s all about being a good human being, which he credits to his parents.
Melvin is confident that Adames will bring stability to the team. He’s coming off a great season with the Brewers, hitting .251 with 32 home runs and 112 RBIs. Adames is known for his energy and joy on the field, making him a player everyone loves to watch.
As he put on his new Giants jersey, Adames felt right at home. He’s ready to embrace this new chapter and help the Giants get back to winning ways.
