Major League Baseball's official website MLB.com reported on the 8th (Korea time) 'According to sources, San Francisco and shortstop Adames signed a seven-year, $182 million contract (about 260 billion won)."
San Francisco was previously mentioned as a strong destination for Kim Ha-sung. San Francisco needed shortstop reinforcement. Recently, it was widely expected that spending would not cause major bleeding. So, rather than expensive Adames, he leaned toward Kim Ha-sung, a relatively reasonable ransom. Just in time, San Francisco had Lee Jung-hoo, so hopes of forming a 'Korean Big Leaguer Duo' were inflated.
The Athletic is better suited to the San Francisco Giants, who desperately need shortstop in the case of Adames. The Giants are going to reduce payrolls. It is more reasonable because Kim Ha-sung's ransom is low and there is no need to compensate for the draft pick. However, even if Kim Ha-sung is healthy, he will not be able to show as much aggression as Adames.
Adames' ransom is estimated to be more than twice that of Kim Ha-sung. Adames will receive 26 million dollars (about 37 billion won) annually. The Athletic predicted Kim Ha-sung's contract to be worth $36 million (about 50 billion won) for two years and $12 million for the Major League Trade Rumors (MTR) for a year.
MLB.com says `San Francisco has signed the biggest contract in history. The previous highest amount was $167 million (about 240 billion won) signed in 2013 by Buster Posey, who was recently appointed president of baseball operations. San Francisco signed star third baseman Matt Chapman to a six-year, $151 million deal in August. San Francisco made up the best left infield in the major leagues with this.'
MLB.com added: "'Adames will provide a stable defense with a strong central batting line attack and shortstop. San Francisco is looking for Brandon Crawford's successor. As Adames came, Tyler Fitzgerald moved to second base and expected the overall defense to be upgraded.

MLB.com says the 'Forge' is making a splash again this winter. We need a first-choice agent to replace left-hander Blake Snell, who left for the rival LA Dodgers. San Francisco is reportedly interested in Adames' former teammate, Corbin Burns. Interest in this could heat up at next week's winter meeting in Dallas,' he said, claiming that San Francisco is aiming for Burns.
Adames recorded a 4.7, contributing to the win (WAR) against the replacement in the 2024 season. It's a career high. He is ranked in the top 20 in the Major League and fifth in the total among shortstop.
One of the great advantages of Adames is his health. He played 161 games as a shortstop in 2024. He had 32 homers and 112 RBIs.
