EDGE Analysis
Adames recorded his second multi-hit effort of the season after a three-game stretch in which he went 0-for-10. The 29-year-old shortstop singled in the sixth inning and came around to score his third run over his last three games. He later followed up with a double down the left-field line during the ninth. Adames is slashing .196/.270/.250 with three doubles, six RBI, a stolen base and a 6:16 BB:K across 63 plate appearances this season.

Adames went 3-for-7 with a double, three RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Adames hit an RBI double in the fifth inning to give the Giants a 6-5 lead. That was one of many twists and turns in the game, which ended with his two-run, walk-off single in the 11th. He doubled his hit total for the season and is now batting .200 (6-for-30) with six RBI and three runs scored over seven contests. Adames also logged his first steal of the campaign, and he could be a contributor with his speed after a career-high 21 thefts in 2024 with the Brewers.

Adames will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Astros, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
After inking a $182 million deal in free agency this winter, Adames has quickly found a home in the No. 2 spot in the lineup, batting out of that spot in the order in each of the Giants' first six games. Though the Giants head into Wednesday's contest with a 4-1 record, Adames hasn't played a big role in the team's early success thus far; he's slashing just .158/.190/.211 with three RBI and one run.

Adames passed his physical with the Giants on Tuesday, making his seven-year, $182 million contract with the team official, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants and Adames agreed to the lucrative deal Saturday, one he earned in large part due to the career-high 32 home runs and 112 RBI he compiled across 161 regular-season games with the Brewers in 2024. The star shortstop's contract is the largest in team history, and he'll be formally introduced at a news conference Thursday.

Adames signed a seven-year, $182 million contract with the Giants on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adames slashed .251/.331/.462 with 32 homers, 112 RBI and 21 steals during the regular season in 2024 -- good enough to land the largest contract in Giants franchise history. The 29-year-old infielder immediately gives a power boost to a San Francisco lineup that ranked 15th in the majors with a .396 slugging percentage, and he's a safe bet to play in the field every day after starting all but one of Milwaukee's games last year. Assuming Adames fills in as the Giants' shortstop, the team may now choose to move Tyler Fitzgerald to second base while Brett Wisely gets pushed to the bench.

Adames rejected the Brewers' one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was an easy decision for Adames, who is set to receive a large, multi-year contract in free agency. Assuming the 29-year-old leaves Milwaukee -- which is fully expected -- the Brewers will receive a draft pick as compensation.

Adames has received offers from the Dodgers and Mets as of Thursday, Mike Rodriguez reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Rodriguez, the Mets have made an offer of over $160 million for seven years. However, because Francisco Lindor holds the reigns at shortstop, Adames would have to likely play third base. As for the offer from the Dodgers, the details of the proposed contract have not been reported. If he signs with Los Angeles, he would be their starting shortstop.

The Brewers extended Adames a one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Adames will undoubtedly decline the offer, as he's set to sign a lucrative, long-term contract in free agency this winter. Assuming that contract doesn't come from Milwaukee, the Brewers will receive a draft pick as compensation.

Adames isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After clinching the NL Central on Wednesday, the Brewers will now give Adames his first off day of the season. Joey Ortiz will fill in as Milwaukee's shortstop while Andruw Monasterio starts at third base and bats ninth.

Adames went 3-for-3 with two home runs, five RBI and a walk in Saturday's 15-8 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Adames had gone just 2-for-17 over his previous five games, but he broke the slump in a big way Saturday. He set a new career high for homers in a season with a solo shot in the fourth inning after blasting a grand slam during the Brewers' seven-run second. The shortstop is up to a .253/.334/.476 slash line over 148 contests, and he's added personal bests in stolen bases (18), RBI (107) and runs scored (87) this year.
