BRAVES: Atlanta has no long-term answer at shortstop, ranking last in the National League in 2024 with a .618 OPS at the position.
DODGERS: L.A. has liked Adames for years, as president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman knows him from their days together with Tampa Bay. A SS could be on the Dodgers’ offseason wish list.
MARINERS: With its stellar starting rotation, the Mariners need to upgrade their offense; Seattle’s shortstops hit .207 with a .647 OPS in 2024.
TIGERS: Javier Báez’s has woefully underperformed, leaving Detroit with major questions at shortstop. Adames originally signed with the Tigers as an amateur in 2012.
Blue Jays: Bo Bichette is one year away from free agency, leaving Toronto with an intriguing possibility: trade Bichette and secure Adames as a long-term SS.
