There’s a new sheriff in town, his name is Buster Posey.
The Giants’ first-year president of baseball operations has already made a big move this offseason, agreeing to terms on a seven-year, $182 million contract with star shortstop Willie Adams, according to multiple reports. There is.
Adames’ reported contract would be the largest in Giants franchise history.
Is that big too? Bay Area fans and the entire baseball world reacted to the news Saturday, creating an uproar on social media.
Some considerations regarding @SFGiants signing Willie Adams:
1. Durability: Adames played in 92.3% of regular season games over the past three seasons (449 of 486 games). With him and Chapman on the left side of the infield, Melvin has two legitimate everyday players.

It’s pretty cool that the man who signed Willie Adams to the biggest contract in Giants franchise history is Buster Posey, the former owner of the biggest contract in Giants history. https://t.co/Zw8XMdmZON

From the slogan “The Giants will win the pennant” to “The Giants have a shortstop” 🔥 That’s great, but I hope it’s just the beginning.
