Adames spent the past four seasons in Milwaukee, receiving MVP votes twice and leading the Brewers to three postseason appearances, but hasn’t lived up to that play through 22 games with the Giants. He entered the series batting .202 with a .554 OPS, five extra-base hits, nine walks and 26 strikeouts in 99 trips to the plate.

San Fransisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames may be missing his old home but he is most certainly an after-thought for his former club.

Chourio, in particular, was on the receiving end of Adames’ leadership as he scuffled along for the first two months of his rookie season in 2024. At 20 years old in a new city and in the major leagues for the first time, Chourio leaned upon Adames for leadership, guidance and, perhaps most important of all, friendship.
