\"Los<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the reigning World Series champion and are expected to be active in the offseason.<\/p>\n

David Brown of Field Level Media shared his MLB free agent predictions and he has the Dodgers signing shortstop Willy Adames to a six-year deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cSlashed .255\/.331\/.462 with 32 homers and 21 steals in 161 games for the Brewers. He showed a drop in his defensive metrics in \u201924 and might have to move to third base within 2-3 seasons. Predicted contract\/destination: Six years, $155 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers,\u201d Brown wrote.<\/p>\n

Adames would be a major addition to the Dodgers\u2019 stacked roster. He could play shortstop, or third base for the Dodgers, depending on what position Mookie Betts plays next season.<\/p>\n

Regardless, adding Adames\u2019 bat and speed to the lineup would make Los Angeles even more dangerous going into 2025.<\/p>\n

Adames has hit .248 with 150 home runs and 472 RBIs in his career.<\/p>\n

Betts Planning to Move Back to Infield<\/h2>\n

The Dodgers\u00a0announced that Betts will be back playing in the infield in 2025.<\/p>\n

Betts played in the outfield in 2024, but due to the toll on his body, Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes says he will return to the infield.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Mookie, winning is always No. 1,\u201d Gomes\u00a0said during the GM Meeting. \u201cSo I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if he\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, this is the best thing. I\u2019ll play wherever.\u2019 I think catching is probably out of the realm of possibility, although I\u2019m sure he would be good at that as well.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cBut yeah, I think it\u2019s a lot of conversations with him as well. I know the toll on the body is less in the infield for him. So you can make arguments on both sides of it,\u201d Gomes added. \u201cBut the beauty of Mookie is (he\u2019s) the most selfless superstar we\u2019ve ever been around. And that permeates through the team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Betts could play second base or shortstop for the Dodgers as Gomes says that will be a conversation for later.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI mean, these conversations were like, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s figure out Mookie and how he fits into the infield,’\u201d Gomes said. \u201cIt could be second, it could be short. We don\u2019t really know yet. We need to continue to have those conversations. But I think it\u2019s much more (that) Mookie\u2019s looking to get back in the infield more than anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Betts has played second base, shortstop, center field, and right field in the MLB.<\/p>\n

Dodgers Also Predicted to Bring Back Teoscar Hernandez<\/h2>\n

Along with signing Adames, Brown predicted the Dodgers to bring back\u00a0Teoscar Hernandez.<\/p>\n

Hernandez signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers in the offseason and Brown predicts him signing a three-year deal to return to LA.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably his best full season at the plate (.272\/.339\/.501 with 33 homers) when you adjust for ballpark and league results. Starting to slip on defense at age 32. Predicted contract\/destination: Three years, $63 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers,\u201d<\/em> Brown\u00a0wrote.<\/p>\n

Hernandez was a key player for the Dodgers this past season and a key reason why they won the World Series. Hernandez\u00a0has also said his priority is to re-sign with LA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
