5/22/25 Kurtenbach: The SF Giants go as Logan Webb goes. That makes his loss to the Royals seriously concerning. SAN FRANCISCO — How long can the Giants keep this up? They have a middling offense and defense (both ranked 18th by FanGraphs' metrics), which seem to be fading further by the day. Their big, flashy, and super-expensive free-agent signing, Willy Adames, is 12 percentage points worse than a league-average hitter and is the single worst defensive shortstop in the game (he had another error Wednesday.) They're striking out nearly as often as the Chicago White Sox. Justin Verlander is yet to register a win as a Giant and is going on the shelf with a pectoral injury. On top of that, manager Bob Melvin has already made a rotation change that had nothing to do with injury. And yet the Giants are stalking

5/20/25 Brewers Drop A Spot In Latest Power Rankings. The Milwaukee Brewers are struggling. The Central is a relatively weak division, but Milwaukee ran away with it last year, pulling off a 93-win season. The starting staff is struggling, the lineup is missing Willy Adames, and the bullpen is missing a closer-type pitcher, though Devin Williams has struggled with the New York Yankees. In The Athletic's latest power rankings, Milwaukee had dropped a spot from last week.

5/20/25 San Francisco Giants Conspicuously Left Off Deadline Buyers/Sellers Prediction List. Past the quarter point of the 2025 MLB regular season, it seems clear that the San Francisco Giants are here to stay. Willy Adames has been performing better at the plate in May, hopefully providing the team with some impact power as they hoped when they signed him to a franchise record seven-year, $182 million contract. Matt Chapman is getting on base but has yet to find his power stroke either. Carrying the offense to this point has been center fielder Jung Hoo Lee, left fielder Heliot Ramos, right fielder Mike Yastrzemski and designated hitter Wilmer Flores, who leads the MLB with 42 RBI after a historic performance recently.

5/17/25 San Francisco Giants Slugger's Power Outage Could Be Because of One Statistic Drop. The San Francisco Giants have been patiently waiting for their star free agent signing, shortstop Willy Adames, to live up to the billing. Adames has been slightly below-average at the plate with a 96 OPS+ and 96 Rbat+. Despite having less than half the plate appearances this month than in March/April, he already has more home runs (3) in May than he did in the first month of the season (2) and has matched his doubles total with five. A .276/.344/.517 slash line in May is certainly more in line with the kind of production the Giants were expecting from their biggest offseason addition.

5/15/25 Giants Slugger Jung Hoo Lee on Fringe of National League MVP Race. The San Francisco Giants have received just enough production from their lineup to surprisingly remain within arm's reach of the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres in the competitive National League West race. If they want to remain in the mix, they are going to need their major free agent signing, shortstop Willy Adames, to find his groove at the plate. The same goes for third baseman Matt Chapman, who has been an on-base machine but isn't hitting enough. Helping pick up the slack for their expected impact players has been center fielder Jung Hoo Lee.

5/13/25 Giants looking for lost offense vs. Diamondbacks. Shaking up the lineup did not have the desired effect for San Francisco Giants manager Bob Melvin, whose team has lost a season-high four straight games. Melvin will look for other solutions when the Giants continue a three-game series against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday. The Giants have scored one run each in three of their past four games, including a 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday. Willy Adames doubled for San Francisco's lone extra-base hit against the National League West rival.

5/07/25 Can Willy Adames turn around his slow start with the Giants? Perhaps playing outside more will make the difference. In his first season in San Francisco, Adames has hit just 4 home runs through the team's first 37 games.

5/06/25 SF Giants' Adames discusses recent defensive struggles. The Giants signed Willy Adames to a franchise-record contract with the hope that he could impact the game on both sides of the ball. Adames committed two errors in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs that brought his total on the year to seven — tied for the most in baseball entering Tuesday. The advanced metrics don't support Adames either; along with the errors, Adames has been worth -6 defensive runs saved and -5 outs above average. Prior to Tuesday's game, Adames spoke at length with reporters about his defensive struggles.

5/05/25 Willy Adames' Bat Heats Up With Two HRs in Giants Win. Willy Adames homered twice and drove in three runs, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 9-3 on Sunday. Adames hit a solo homer in each of his first two at-bats for his eighth career multi-home run game. Giants right-hander Logan Webb (4-2) pitched seven innings of one-run ball, bouncing back nicely after he surrendered a season-high five runs in a loss at San Diego on Tuesday. Colorado dropped to a major league-worst 6-28.

4/29/25 Yankees could swing blockbuster trade with Brewers for $15M All-Star. The New York Yankees could be looking for starting pitchers near the trade deadline. The Brewers are 14-15 to start the year. While it is still early, their offense looks like one that clearly misses Willy Adames. The Chicago Cubs look like the class of the National League Central, and if the Brewers continue to struggle, they could be sellers at the trade deadline.

4/29/25 Willy Adames reveals Buster Posey's crucial impact in Giants free agency decision. Willy Adames agreed to a contract with the San Francisco Giants in MLB free agency this past offseason. The $182 million contract certainly played a role in his decision, but Adames also credited Giants' president of baseball operations (and former All-Star catcher) Buster Posey. “I feel like with him (Posey) it was easy because, like, we didn't even talk about money until, like, the last few days,” Adames said recently, via Chris Rose Sports.

4/28/25 Rays ex-batting champion linked to Giants as possible trade fit. The San Francisco Giants are off to a strong start in 2025. After finishing 80-82 last season and missing the playoffs, they currently lead the National League West by a half-game. Willy Adames has struggled to start the year, and they might need somebody to pick up the slack and give them some more production. Dylan Sanders of Sports Illustrated proposed the idea of San Francisco trading for Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz.

4/24/25 SF Giants win series as Adames drives in go-ahead run versus old team. Comebacks have been the norm for the Giants this season. The Brewers learned that firsthand. Willy Adames drove in the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth inning against his former team to complete a three-run comeback as the Giants defeated the Brewers, 6-5, on Thursday afternoon at Oracle Park to take three of four games from Milwaukee. “We feel confident that we have a really good team and that we're going to make a comeback at any point,” said Adames.

4/22/25 Giants SS Willy Adames' error issues continue in battle vs. Brewers. Willy Adames' homecoming to Milwaukee hasn't gone according to script. After going 0-for-3 in Monday's opener against his former team, the San Francisco Giants shortstop followed up with a costly error in Tuesday night's 11-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, continuing a troubling early-season trend. Although he did get a hit Tuesday night, he went 1-for-4 and now sits with just a home run, 11 RBIs and just 18 hits through 24 games. The error, his third of the season, came in the sixth inning and opened the door for a Milwaukee scoring surge. It was the kind of routine play fans expect Adames to make, especially given his defensive reputation and the $182 million contract he inked this past winter.

4/21/25 Brewers to see familiar face in series vs. Willy Adames, Giants. The Milwaukee Brewers will get a chance to visit an old pal when they open a four-game road series against Willy Adames and the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. The teams flew into San Francisco on Sunday night experiencing opposite emotions. While the Brewers were celebrating a 14-1 thumping of the Athletics to complete a series win and a 4-2 homestand, the Giants were lamenting having squandered a three-run, ninth-inning lead in a 5-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels that completed a 5-5 trip. Adames was a driving force in back-to-back National League Central titles by the Brewers in 2023 and 2024.

4/17/25 Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez turns clock back to Cole Hamels with career best. Christopher Sanchez is one of the best pitchers in the MLB, and he proved it again on Thursday against Willy Adames and the San Francisco Giants. The Philadelphia Phillies ace put together an all-time performance for manager Rob Thomson. Sanchez became the first left-handed Philadelphia pitcher to record at least 12 strikeouts in a game since Cole Hamels had 13 Ks in 2015, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic.

4/15/25 Giants Slug 3 Homers and Continue Fast Start With a Win Over Phillies. Willy Adames and Mike Yastrzemski homered, and Tyler Fitzgerald also went deep, doubled and tripled to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 10-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night. The Giants took two of three over the weekend from the Yankees and added a win against the defending NL East champions. Only San Diego (13-3) was off to a better start than the Giants (11-4) entering Monday. Nick Castellanos homered for the Phillies.
