In his first big move as Giants president of baseball operations, Buster Posey was more than happy to offer a contract that broke his own franchise record. On Thursday, he'll welcome Willy Adames to San Francisco, two days after the shortstop signed a seven-year, $182 million deal that officially became the richest in Giants history.

Adames' introductory press conference, which can be streamed live on MLB.com, will be held at Oracle Park at 11:30 a.m. PT

Adames’ deal eclipsed the nine-year, $167 million extension Posey inked with San Francisco in 2013 and gave the Giants a long-term answer at shortstop, which had been their most glaring need this offseason.

“We’re just thrilled to have this guy be a part of Giants baseball,” Posey said of Adames. “He showed an interest early on that he believed in the vision of what we’re trying to do here, and we just are thrilled that we got the best shortstop on the market. Great defender, great offense, clutch hitter, but most importantly … we got a great person.

"It’s one of those things that’s hard to measure. I know I’ve read some stuff from former managers and other front offices that have had him over the years, and it’s pretty sterling, sparkling endorsements that they give this guy. We’re thrilled that Willy’s a San Francisco guy.”
