A lot of speculation swirled ahead of the 2021 season regarding the Rays’ plans to upgrade from Class-A SS Adames, who had been regarded as a blossoming star only two years previously.
Many people considered Wander Franco to be the best prospect in the game.
In spite of the negotiations, Adames retained his job in spring training, but his hitting difficulties continued as after 40 games, he was hitting below .200, although with occasional power, as he had 6 doubles and 5 homers.
Even so, the news that he and P Trevor Richards had been moved to the Milwaukee Brewers on May 21st for relievers J.P. Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen came as a surprise.
With Luis Urias’ recent struggles at shortstop, it was evident that the Brewers want an upgrade at shortstop in the form of Adames, a defensive rock.
With his exceptional two-way contributions to one of the finest teams in the National League Central, he made a strong case for MVP consideration.
