Shortstop Willy Adames (30) who is a teammate of San Francisco Giants pitcher Lee Jung-hoo (27) expressed regret over his former team, the Milwaukee Brewers. He appeared in the FA market after the end of last year's season, but he must have been very disappointed that he didn't have a phone call.

In an interview with local reporters such as "NBC Sports Bay Area" ahead of the home game against Milwaukee at Oracle Park in San Francisco, California on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time), Adames said he had not heard from Milwaukee since becoming an FA.
Adames met Milwaukee for the first time since moving to the team, saying, "I have a lot of great memories in Milwaukee. I met a lot of amazing people and helped the team and the city grow into the players they are today. They were a great help to me."

Adames, a utuuta shortstop from the Dominican Republic, was traded to Milwaukee in May 2021 after making his debut with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018. He grew up as a big-handed shortstop in Milwaukee, hitting 31 home runs in 2022, 24 in 2023 and 32 last year. Adames, who became an FA after the end of last year's season, attracted attention as the "biggest hit fish" and hit the jackpot by signing a seven-year, $182 million contract with San Francisco.

It was regrettable that Milwaukee, his former team, did not have a phone call even though he won a large contract. Adames said, "I didn't have a phone call. From the beginning, I knew it would not be a contract with Milwaukee. Milwaukee was not interested in me at all since the beginning of the conversation with other teams." 메이저놀이터

"I thought I would get at least one phone call. I thought you would ask me what I wanted, but I did nothing. It was shocking," he said. "The Milwaukee fans treated me amazingly well. They made me feel like home."

Milwaukee, a small market club, could not afford to catch Adames, the "biggest hit fish" in the first place. It was highly predictable that Adames would leave Milwaukee, but he had no idea that there would be no formal contact, let alone an offer.

However, if you look at Adames' performance now, there seems to be a reason why Milwaukee went lukewarm. Adames, who had no hit in four times at bat against Milwaukee on the day, has shown sluggish performance this year with a batting average of 1944 (18 hits in 93 times at bat), one homer, 11 RBIs, 12 runs scored, nine walks, 27 strikeouts and a .269 OPS. He is batting second in all games, but is constantly taking chances in front of third Lee Jung-hoo.

"Personally, I tend to get hit late, so I need time," Adames said. "If a team continues to win, individual performance is not a big issue. Of course, I want to do well, but until the team recovers, I want to contribute to the team in a different way. The important thing is for the team to continue to win." Despite Adames' sluggish performance, San Francisco Giants with Lee Jung-hoo is cruising with 15 wins and eight losses (winning rate .652).

Adames is a slow-starting slow-starter who started the season with a batting average of 221 percent from March to April. However, he needs to show his skills as soon as possible, as it is the first year that he moved to a major free agent contract. "As people who have witnessed my career know, April was not good. Every year, I had a hard time for the first month and a half of the season. I am trying to get a sense of hit, and I don't have to worry too much," he said confidently.
