Shortstop Willy Adames and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a seven-year, $182 million contract, the largest outlay in franchise history, sources told ESPN on Saturday.

The 29-year-old Adames was the Giants’ top target this winter. With the top free agent on the market, Juan Soto, likely to select his team in the next 48 hours, San Francisco struck a deal with Adames, who was also being considered by teams in the race for Soto.

Adames has been an integral part of the Milwaukee Brewers’ center field for the past four seasons after moving from the Tampa Bay Rays. Adames’ 30-homer power is rare for a shortstop, and the Giants have struggled to find a replacement for Brandon Crawford, who played the position for 13 seasons.

The deal, which has yet to be finalized, breaks the franchise record of $167 million awarded to catcher Buster Posey, who is in his first year as the Giants’ president of baseball operations. According to sources, it will include a $22 million signing bonus.

Adames set career highs in home runs (32), RBIs (112) and stolen bases (21) in 2024 while ranking fifth among shortstops in FanGraphs Wins Above Replacement. Adames also set the major league record for most three-run home runs in a single season with 13, helping the Brewers to the National League Central title.

Other teams considered using Adames as a third baseman, but the Giants hope his glove can continue to match his offensive production. Over his seven-year career, Adames slashed .248/.322/.444 with 150 home runs, 472 RBIs and 51 stolen bases.
