00:00So here's what we have seen so far.

00:05We talked about Blake Snell to the Dodgers.

00:07182 mil over a five-year span.

00:11182 million, Jack, for the Dodgers' most bitter rival,

00:15the San Francisco Giants, and a seven-year deal

00:18for the shortstop who spent the last three and a half seasons

00:21in Milwaukee, good city, by the way, Willie Adamas.

00:24The Giants have missed out on a couple of big swings,

00:27perhaps the last few off seasons.

00:30What are they getting in Willie Adamas?

00:32What will he mean for San Francisco

00:34this upcoming MLB campaign?

00:37Yeah, Milwaukee gets cold in February, by the way,

00:39but what's the song lyric?

00:42The coldest summer or the coldest winter

00:44I ever had was a summer in San Francisco.

00:47What they get is one of, if not the best,

00:50left side of the infield in Major League Baseball.

00:52Matt Chapman is awesome, and they put their money

00:55where their mouth was with Matt Chapman.

00:57They extended him at the end of the 2024 regular season.

01:00Chapman's an $150 million player.

01:03Willie Adamas is an $180 million player,

01:06and they have Chapman at third and Adamas at short

01:09for the foreseeable future.

01:10Willie Adamas is the only shortstop

01:12in Major League Baseball with 20 homers and 70 RBIs

01:17in each of the last four seasons.

01:19I think that's a health thing with Corey Seager,

01:22but what that tells you is this guy is A,

01:26always on the field, and B, a power threat

01:29and can play a good shortstop.

01:3120 homers from the shortstop position,

01:33and Adamas, like, that's his low-end year.

01:36His top-end year is a 30-homer shortstop

01:39and a good one defensively.

01:41This guy is one of the more underrated players

01:43in Major League Baseball, and I think a lot of that

01:45had to do with him playing in Milwaukee.

01:47A lot of people don't know who this is.

01:49He is an awesome, awesome player,

01:51and the Giants got a lot better by getting Adamas,

01:55and I feel good for the Giants, man.

01:57They moved Buster Posey into that

01:59president of baseball operations role

02:01after they fire Farhan Zayedi.

02:03They missed out on Aaron Judge or Arson Judge.

02:06They miss out on Carlos Correa.

02:09They finally get their guy in Adamas,

02:12and they sold him on being on that left side with Chapman,

02:16and I think it's gonna work, man.

02:17I'm really excited.

02:18♪♪
