They have internal options to explore, but the two-time All-Star is one of the top second basemen in baseball and will be missed if he departs.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees might have a better chance to replace Torres if they don\u2019t re-sign Juan Soto. Clearly, keeping Soto in town is the bigger priority than finding a replacement at second base, but there\u2019s a scenario where the Yankees could do both.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Passan of ESPN believes the Yankees could be in play for Willy Adames, highlighting that he\u2019s willing to move positions. If Adames moved to third and Jazz Chisholm Jr. slid over to second, the Yankees would have an easy replacement for Torres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWilly Adames, shortstop: The 29-year-old is coming off a 32-homer season with the Milwaukee Brewers and has hit the second-most home runs in the past six seasons among shortstops, behind only Lindor,\u201d Passan wrote on November 12.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough he makes all kinds of sense for the San Francisco Giants, Adames\u2019 willingness to play third base ties him to the Mets and Yankees, too. The Dodgers will be in the mix as well. Adames should cash in, though any reports of contracts already offered are incorrect.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Adames Predicted to Be Expensive<\/h2>\n<p>While it\u2019s impossible to count out the New York Yankees when it comes to spending, it\u2019s tough to imagine a scenario in which they could sign Soto to a $600-plus million deal and Adames to a long-term contract.<\/p>\n<p>Anything is possible, and the two have been linked recently, so it\u2019s certainly something that could happen.<\/p>\n<p>Adames is expected to be paid like the top shortstop in Major League Baseball this winter. After the best season of his career and showing the willingness to move positions, he looks all but guaranteed to get paid handsomely.<\/p>\n<p>Tim Kelly of Bleacher Report expects that to be the case, predicting that Adames will land a seven-year, $180 million deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWilly Adames is reaching free agency at an interesting juncture of his career. He is coming off of the best offensive season of his career, as he homered 32 times and drove in 112 runs for the Brewers. That makes him an elite run producer at any position, let alone shortstop.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cHowever, Adames\u2019 defensive metrics fell off a cliff this past season, as he posted minus-16 defensive runs saved and zero outs above average,\u201d Kelly wrote on November 12. \u201cThat\u2019s hard to square because he finished 2023 with eight DRS and 16 OAA. Was there that dramatic of a drop-off in one year?\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Lineup With Soto and Adames<\/h2>\n<p>In the scenario that the New York Yankees could sign Soto and Adames to big deals, they\u2019d have the best lineup in Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Despite how expensive it may be, the Yankees are in a position to win right now, especially if Soto were to return. If they plan to spend $60 million on one player, they can\u2019t ignore the rest of the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees\u2019 offense went cold at times during the campaign, but a lineup featuring Adames, Soto, Aaron Judge, and others would be a nightmare for opposing pitchers.<\/p>\n<p>His price is his price, but Adames would be an excellent addition to replace Torres with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
