Now, add\u00a0free agent shortstop Willy Adames to the list of available players the Red Sox are interested in.<\/p>\n<p>MLB Network insider Jon Morosi\u00a0explains how\u00a0even with shortstop Trevor Story and shortstop Marcelo Mayer, the No. 7 prospect in all of baseball per MLB Pipeline, Adames could still fit with the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose align-center\">\n<div class=\"min-w-[300px] overflow-x-hidden text-center font-secondary uppercase my-2.5 min-h-[280px] md:min-h-[250px]\">\n<div id=\"content_1\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBNetwork\/status\/1854902950927499725<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t think it will be necessary for Adames to switch positions because there is sufficient interest in him as a shortstop,\u201d Morosi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the Boston Red Sox, depending on what Trevor Story&#8217;s status is,\u201d Morosi continued. \u201cStory has missed so much time that perhaps if they were to trade Marcelo Mayer in a deal to get pitching like a Garrett Crochet for example, then there is a gap at shortstop for the long term, maybe you go Adames at short and play Story elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the Red Sox do end up trading Mayer for Grochet or another top starting pitcher, then this move would absolutely make sense. Adames is one of the top available free agents would would be an excellent fit with the Red Sox if the logjam at shortstop is cleared up via trade.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose align-center\">\n<div class=\"min-w-[300px] overflow-x-hidden text-center font-secondary uppercase my-2.5 min-h-[280px] md:min-h-[250px]\">\n<div id=\"content_2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Morosi also mentioned the Dodgers, Giants and Braves as teams that could be interested in Adames.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the Boston Red Sox would want Willy Adames<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3112703\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3112703\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3112703\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-08-24-adames-imgae.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-08-24-adames-imgae.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-08-24-adames-imgae.jpeg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-08-24-adames-imgae.jpeg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-08-24-adames-imgae.jpeg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/11-08-24-adames-imgae.jpeg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames (27) fields a ground ball during the first inning against the Philadelphia Phillies at American Family Field. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3112703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col gap-4 divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] px-4 pt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-between\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col\">\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">Adames proved during the 2024 season that he is one of the absolute best shortstops in baseball. He slugged .462 while hitting 32 home runs, driving in 112 runs and stealing 21 bases. Adames also continued to play elite defense at shortstop.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox have struggled to find consistent production at shortstop due to\u00a0Story&#8217;s lengthy injury struggles\u00a0since they signed him to a six-year, $140 million contract in 2022. While they do have Mayer, who ended the 2024 season in Triple-A and is expected to make his way to the Major Leagues sooner rather than later, if Adames is available Morosi&#8217;s idea to use him as a trade piece to improve their starting pitching would make a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p>Story, who the Red Sox likely would not be able to move given his contract and injury history, also has experience playing second base and could easily shift over to allow Adames to take over at shortstop.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Willy Adames is one of the top available free agents.
