Red Sox Showing Interest in Willy Adames

Per Jon Morosi of MLB Network, the Boston Red Sox have shown interested in shortstop Willy Adames.

While Adames has said he is open to moving off of shortstop, I speculate that the Red Sox would likely keep him there and move Trevor Story to the Keystone.

Adames, who has played for the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers, will be entering his age 29 season in 2025 and coming off a campaign where he slashed .251/.331/.462 with 32 homeruns and 21 stolen bases. He also provides a plus glove at one of the most important positions on the field. One thing to consider for the Sox is how his batted ball profile fits in Fenway Park as his expected homerun output was more than 20% less than his actual output. 

In their Free Agent predictions, MLBTR projected Adames to get a six year, $160MM deal.

Are you willing to pay that for one of the best shortstops in the game?
