will look to continue to add big names in free agency under new leadership. One name on the free agent market has been heavily linked with the Giants, shortstop Willy Adames.
Heading into free agency, the shortstop had one of the best seasons of his career. In 161 games, he hit a career high in home runs , RBIs and doubles . Adames was top 10 in wRC+ among all shortstop during 2024 to go along with his huge final season before free agency., Adames is tied for the most home runs among all shortstops with 112 and leads all shortstops with 363.
The Giants have been looking for an everyday shortstop since Brandon Crawford's departure and the failed signing of Carlos Correa. For a time, it appeared as if Marco Luciano would be that answer, but he is now on his third position change. If San Francisco were to sign Adames as an upgrade at short and to add some power, Fitzgerald could easily slide over to second base and fill in on the veteran's off days.
