BREAKING TRADE: Brewers Star Infielder Projected To Land Seven-Year Contract Worth Over $200 Million

Milwaukee Brewers star shortstop Willy Adames has officially entered free agency and almost certainly priced himself out of Milwaukee.

The teams that have been most closely connected to Adames have been the big markets with the most money such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.

 

For the most part, Adames’ contract predictions have sat somewhere between $140 million to $175 million.

But FanSided’s Chris Landers has reported a new projection on Adames that signals he could receive much more money than expected.

One that comes with very understandable reasons for the drastic increase in his estimated price tag.

“It’s not just that Adames is an All-Star-caliber player; it’s that he’s an All-Star-caliber player at valuable positions without much of any free-agent depth to speak of,” Landers wrote.

“So it’s no surprise that the ballpark for an Adames contract just keeps climbing higher and higher. And the latest number would price the Brewers out of the running entirely: According to Baseball Trade Values, market value for Adames would land at roughly seven years, $211 million, or eight years and $231 million.”

What Landers is saying is that there’s only a handful of talented infielders available while there are a ton of teams looking for infielders.

The basic rules of supply and demand indicate that the price of goods (in this scenario, Adames) will skyrocket since the demand is high and the supply is low.

If Adames is set to land over $200 million across seven or eight years, there will only be a handful of teams that can touch that price tag.

The most obvious two suitors would be the Dodgers and the Mets, as stated earlier.

The San Diego Padres, who could use help up the middle despite having natural shortstops all over the diamond, could swoop in and steal him away at that price tag as well.
