Willy Adames could be considering position change with Mets as potential fit
NY Post
Mets baseball president David Stearns acquired star free agent shortstop Willy Adames for the Brewers. Adames is thought willing to consider third base, and Stearns has said Mark Vientos could play first base if the need arises.
Adames should have plenty of interest.
The Dodgers, Braves and Giants tried hard to obtain him via trade. Dodgers baseball president Andrew Friedman acquired him for Tampa Bay, but the Dodgers’ need doesn’t seem quite as urgent with NLCS MVP Tommy Edman performing so well in the postseason and Miguel Rojas expected to make a full recovery after offseason surgery.
The Royals, looking for a leadoff hitter, might consider Gleyber Torres, who filled that role nicely for the Yankees.
If the emerging Royals are unable to acquire a high on-base guy, they could move superstar Bobby Witt Jr. to leadoff (he’d prefer to stay batting second, but he hit with the bases empty more than anyone this year, not counting leadoff men).
The Mariners, Giants and Blue Jays also are in the second base market and make sense for Torres.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
