  Gregory Fisher-USA TODAY Sports The shortstop will be a free agent after the season Willy Adames is a good player, a 28-year-old with almost 20 career WAR, a very good defensive shortstop who is a streaky hitter but who has had an OPS+ of at least 109 in five of his seven seasons (including 2024). He’s had at least three WAR in each of his three seasons as a Brewer, including 2021, when he was traded to Milwaukee in late May, and he’s on pace to have about four this year.
