The Los Angeles Dodgers have long been connected to star Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames. There were even a few rumors during the 2024 season that suggested the two sides could swing a trade to send Adames to Los Angeles.
Ultimately, the Brewers held onto him and he’s now a free agent, which means the Dodgers can take their shot at him.
But Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic doesn’t think the fit is as perfect as it seems. In fact, Rosenthal mentioned moving Mookie Betts, who’s already coming back to the infield, to shortstop and calling it a day.
